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.

nice pumpkin haloween apron 🙂
Wow it’s beautiful 2:20
Wonderful ideas, thank you 😊
hi I’m just curious, how strong is it? can I carry heavy things in a bag made with it? thanks
Is it just grocery bags that you can use? I was thinking of the plastic tablecloths since there is a variety of colors. 🤔
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!
Thanks!
this is amazing. I’m always looking for ways to reuse my clean trash like bottles i can wash and cardboard boxes. thank you!!!!
Thank you for the class blessings
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.
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 😂
Love the mushroom bag! Very cool! This looks like a fun project. When I’m done being one-handed maybe I’ll try it.
Is this toxic? Does the plastic release fumes when running the iron over it?
This is genius! Thank you for sharing Queen 😊
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 Have some light weight but outdated wind breakers, many baseball caps and clothing of that sort.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.
Love this idea! Will have to wait to do this in a well ventilated area tho.
Iron on med to med hight heat
This is so cool!
Wow- I din’t know you could fuse so many layers in one go- that is very time saving.
second best to bringing your own bag everywhere and refuse free plastic bags
I always have the issue where it all shrinks too much and gets "holes" …..thoughts?
Love the mushroom bag ? How did you make it? Will normal sewing machine cope? Thank you.
Awesome!!! Thank you!!
❤😂🎉😮😅❤🎉
End product looks like "pvc". 👍
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 🙂
Be careful! Those are toxic cancerous fumes your breathing in..your pets too!
Thank you!!
Wow, so beautiful but how durable is it
1:08 😂yeppers
Amazing❤❤❤❤
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. 🥰
At what temperature must one set the iron?
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.
so cool! Thanks for sharing!
🤩🤩👏👏👏👏
You are exactly who I was looking for
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?
Cool idea thanks!
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👌🥰
Brilliant!!! Will be doing this!!!
