 Welcome to a new precious plastic video In this video, we're gonna make something from old plastic bags and We're not gonna use our machines for this one, but this is a technique almost everyone can do The only thing we need is an iron and a sewing machine to get it done And the trick we're doing is pretty common But we're gonna show you guys a few tips and tricks on how to make it better and more professional And we have our boy Björn from Iceland to help us out So we're gonna show you guys how to make a bag, but obviously the technique can be used to produce a lot of things and The first thing we have to do is to prepare the seeds to cut plastic bags into a size that fits Under a regular sheet of baking paper So now we have a bunch of cut plastic bags It's important to pre iron every seeds you have Because it helps control the shrinking of the bags and and smoothen the surface out I Use the temperature around 200 degrees for my iron. It's cotton setting and it works for whatever kind of bag. I Press it slowly quite hard actually and just keep the iron moving until the whole surface is relatively flat and then after this I Press it down for two three seconds with a flat surface and Repeat the process until I have a stack of materials ready to use Yeah, now we have the flat sheets and I don't shrink so much anymore and we're gonna start fusing more together to get a bigger surface So now we have a stack of pre iron plastic and we need to start fusing it together to create a bigger surface We'll be using the same technique as before just applying the iron with baking paper on both sides And I start by creating a base of just a single layer of plastic bags fused together And I stack them on top one by one until I have a layer of Three sheets thick and then the material should be nice and sturdy and Strong enough to create a durable bag When I have two pieces of big enough plastic fused together I place it on top of a rough textile Baking paper on top and I iron it again This really helps smoothen out the the surface of the plastic making it absolutely straight And it also leaves a strong imprint of the the textile on the plastic This again like everything else helps make it strong and easier to to manage So next up is super easy. We're gonna cut the sheet into the correct size with the sheets ready With a nice texture and they're they're flat and the three layers thick and strong it's time to Cut them after the pattern So next up is to sewer all together and we use a super old basic soon machine I'm no Sewing specialists, so there are probably plenty of ways to do it different or better But I'm doing it in an idiot-proof way, so anybody should be able to do it for a smooth finish Pin down three of the edges one centimeter and sew it Until it looks like this here The bottom has been sewn together and six centimeters on both sides across the vertical line Then you can break the back like this to create a three-dimensional platform of the back Use the six centimeters as the end stop of a triangle and sew right across When the triangle has been soon on both sides You can flip that back or turn it Inside out to get the smoother surface on the outside And then there's just one final step left to get the back up and running and that is to Fasten the two sides together. So everything is pinned down We give it like a one centimeter break from the edge and Just Stitch it carefully Okay, so the core of the bag is ready strong and durable and next thing is to finish it up So there are multiple ways of finishing up your bag Lots of different sewing styles that can be applied or different colors textures and Yeah, so here for example is bubble wrap and it feels totally different from from the plastic almost like some alligator leather So with these various techniques You can for example make a handbag What is a tote bag Something like a backpack All right, so we made a few bags as an example and you can make it plain blue or you can really mix all the plastic bags together It doesn't matter that much the core principle is that you can fuse plastic bags together to make these big sheets Which you can use to make something else could be a bag Could be something completely different. Anyway, that was it for this video Thanks for watching and if you have a questions feel free to post the topic in our forums And make sure to send us a picture of the bag. You mate
