Amazing! What’s going on in the last two photos with the iron and flat sheets of…?
You can iron plastic bags to form a thick, waterproof material that can be sewn together like fabric. I’ve tried it a few times, but haven’t mastered it yet. It’s pretty neat though, huh?
Eventually I’ll have a page on my site dedicated to this technique, but for now you can search for “plastic bag fusing” and find a few good tutorials on this method.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been using plastic bags for a number of years for various bags, rugs. But never to the extent that you have. You are a true artist. lsm

Heya. Great work my friend! Do you do custom designs? Could you make a more school like backpack with zippers &/or laptop bags with straps
Hi Daniel.
I’ve never tried anything with zippers. I’ll definitely let you know if I make anything that resembles a school backpack though! Thanks for the suggestion.
Yah definitely let me know bc I would buy it from you in a heartbeat.
