Welcome to the Upcycle Design Lab. I craft with recycled, repurposed, and unwanted materials. There is a lot of experimenting with trash and recyclables to make them “new” again. If you enjoy reusing repairing and re-imagining old items, I hope you will stick around and check out some of my other Upcycling tutorials and join those of us who are rethinking the things we throw away.

    hi I’m just curious, how strong is it? can I carry heavy things in a bag made with it? thanks

  5. @darlalei4303 on November 8, 2024 at 12:44 pm

    Is it just grocery bags that you can use? I was thinking of the plastic tablecloths since there is a variety of colors. 🤔

  6. @SaraMKay on November 8, 2024 at 12:44 pm

    Thanks for inspiring people to re-use these flimsy menaces, that destroys and kills so much wildlife. You are an artist making stunningly beautiful pieces of art out of garbage! 💕

    Yay! I think I just found a winner out of all the other plastic bag repurposing vids I watched 2day. Now I think this might solve the problem of where to find/buy material to make a poncho or rain slicker kind of covering for my Chiweenie! Thank you so much 4 sharing this creative & super cute looking idea/project w/us!

  8. @ChiqueChiing on November 8, 2024 at 12:45 pm

  9. @anastasiawhite605 on November 8, 2024 at 12:45 pm

    Thank you for the class blessings

  11. @marcoapolinario2009 on November 8, 2024 at 12:51 pm

    Exelente ideia, quero aprender a fazer estes objetos. Isto acaba com tanto lixo. Como vc fez os vasos? Parabens. Me dá uma idéia para fazer isto para alunos do colégio fazer. Uma idéia bonita e que eles irão gostar.

  12. @SaraMKay on November 8, 2024 at 12:51 pm

    Absolutely terrific job! Beautiful! Useful! And totally inspiring!
    I hated plastic bags wholeheartedly until now. Where I live, you actually have to buy these flimsy bags at the check out and I would never do that because I always bring my own bags when I go shopping. I hate anything one-time-use-plastic very much, it’s so wasteful and pointless.
    Well, now maybe I have to go against my convictions and buy plastic bags the next time 😂

  13. @kfitz192 on November 8, 2024 at 12:53 pm

    Love the mushroom bag! Very cool! This looks like a fun project. When I’m done being one-handed maybe I’ll try it.

  14. @roselynthalathara958 on November 8, 2024 at 12:56 pm

    Is this toxic? Does the plastic release fumes when running the iron over it?

  15. @Pancake310 on November 8, 2024 at 12:57 pm

    This is genius! Thank you for sharing Queen 😊

  16. @bindiberry6280 on November 8, 2024 at 12:57 pm

    It is rainy in Los Angeles, CA because of the storm. Have some light weight but outdated wind breakers, many baseball caps and clothing of that sort. Just wonder if people recycling and converting them into rain ponchos using plastic bags, hot iron, hot glue gun, hot glue sticks, and parchment papers. I believe that it can be quite easy, creative, and practical.

  17. @cquirkyfish on November 8, 2024 at 1:03 pm

    Love this idea! Will have to wait to do this in a well ventilated area tho.

  18. @ahmadhaikal6126 on November 8, 2024 at 1:03 pm

    Iron on med to med hight heat

  19. @katykab00m on November 8, 2024 at 1:04 pm

  20. @alexmousley7213 on November 8, 2024 at 1:05 pm

    Wow- I din’t know you could fuse so many layers in one go- that is very time saving.

  21. @yousuckmorethanido on November 8, 2024 at 1:05 pm

    second best to bringing your own bag everywhere and refuse free plastic bags

  22. @amandasalgado6876 on November 8, 2024 at 1:06 pm

    I always have the issue where it all shrinks too much and gets "holes" …..thoughts?

  23. @claire6795 on November 8, 2024 at 1:08 pm

    Love the mushroom bag ? How did you make it? Will normal sewing machine cope? Thank you.

  24. @ale.g.x.667 on November 8, 2024 at 1:08 pm

    Awesome!!! Thank you!!

  25. @fundabolat3794 on November 8, 2024 at 1:09 pm

  26. @NMBUS24 on November 8, 2024 at 1:09 pm

    End product looks like "pvc". 👍

  27. @yapaljanet9169 on November 8, 2024 at 1:11 pm

    This video was great help for my FCCLA project! I’m doing it based on reusable fabrics and plastic waste prevention and this definitely helped with using all my extra grocery bags 🙂

  28. @kittycato2023 on November 8, 2024 at 1:12 pm

    Be careful! Those are toxic cancerous fumes your breathing in..your pets too!

  29. @FabMoment on November 8, 2024 at 1:15 pm

    Thank you!!

  30. @DAMSETH_dfemaleshoeandbagmaker on November 8, 2024 at 1:15 pm

  32. @EcocraftPuterikasih on November 8, 2024 at 1:23 pm

    Amazing❤❤❤❤

  33. @tahara1083 on November 8, 2024 at 1:23 pm

    Thank this is exactly what I was looking for I’m gonna use it as a cloth diaper liner. I just wanted to see if it was doable or try it myself if there weren’t any videos. Thank you so much. 🥰

  34. @francismnyele on November 8, 2024 at 1:24 pm

    At what temperature must one set the iron?

  35. @kittycato2023 on November 8, 2024 at 1:25 pm

    On the 90s during goth and punk days u coukd buy nice pocketbook made from recycled tires. Very expensive but last forever! WITH these shopping bags..I woukd use them for cat litter. I need them but can’t get them anymore so now I have to buy them. What’s the point of supermarkets stopping using them..now I need to buy them! I get it. I’m a recycling freak. I recycle everything..but I need my garbage bags.

  36. @NoTraceShop on November 8, 2024 at 1:25 pm

    so cool! Thanks for sharing!

  37. @manijheazad9784 on November 8, 2024 at 1:27 pm

    🤩🤩👏👏👏👏

  38. @alliecharacky6388 on November 8, 2024 at 1:27 pm

    You are exactly who I was looking for

  39. @debrabrooks6138 on November 8, 2024 at 1:28 pm

    I was thinking this could be a useful way to make raincoats for your dog and pets, and even yourself. I too am thinking it could make water proof diaper bags and umbrellas! Can mylar bags be used in the same way to make tarps or sleeping bags for heat like for survival? How about waterproof tents for the homeless or for camping?

  40. @AmiNaedia on November 8, 2024 at 1:28 pm

    Cool idea thanks!

  41. @nazneenhussain2695 on November 8, 2024 at 1:29 pm

    Wow what an idea! I remember a lady who filled fourteen pillows plastic bag strips and gifted to her dear ones. May she rest in peace. You have great creative mind👌🥰

  42. @AGoddess on November 8, 2024 at 1:31 pm

    Brilliant!!! Will be doing this!!!

  43. @ItsMay478 on November 8, 2024 at 1:32 pm
