Tomorrow millions world wide will celebrate Earth Day 2010 so continuing on the theme of re-using common household items. I have read a lot about making fused plastic material from shopping bags and have see a lot of completed projects using the resulting material. Today's video shows how to make fused plastic material from shopping bags. Once the material is made it can be cut as desired and sewn together to create other items such as heavy duty shopping bags or wallets.
Note: I have not made fused plastic material although I plan on trying it when I can set the ironing board outdoors and actually have a couple of bags. My concern is any fumes created may be toxic so I don't want the fumes in the house. Once the plastic is fused and cooled there would not be a problem with toxicity however I would not recommend using the material where it will come in direct contact with food.
