  • cool !!!!

  • Can you fuse the plastic together so you dont have to sew?

  • 4:22 --- NO WAY!!!  You can put a camera AND a magazine in there????! Hey, kinda cool, the black bags make it look kind of like worn out leather.

    (also want to mention, I have dogs yet still use my grocery bags for a lot more things than just that... we line garbage cans, use and re-use them for carrying things, ect... not wasted in this family)

  • I also agree that there is a -lot- of trial and error in iron settings. I tried the recommended setting and eventually ended up having it on the wool setting which is much higher.

  • MrBonblade does have a point. I reckon it would probably be a better idea to just use car buckles - they looked fantastic anyway. Buying one bag and taking buckles off of it to put on another bag defeats SOME of the purpose in recycling - UNLESS you're using what's left of the cannibalized bag for another project.

  • That is way cool. I"m going to try that this weekend.

  • @MrBonblade Well... it's... trashing a bag to make anoher...

  • @IHaveNoClue1234 yes, and you can add padding

  • can i use duct tape to hold it together instead of my sewing machine

  • @marcinhaUK i know but im just looking for an excuse to buy one :P
