Glasses case
To make the glasses case You will have to choose a bag with the design that you like the most, because that pattern will be the one that carries the cover itself. Nail clipper corner of the bag by measuring the glasses that you are going to put inside. Cut the rectangle and glue the side to create a kind of sachet.
To close the cover, make a few holes continuous, separated by approximately 1 mm each other, helping you with a awl. You must put the cord through these holes, one hole in and one out, in such a way that when you pull it, the bag gathers.
You will already have glasses case with Recycled material ready to go everywhere.
Snack bag
The example of a snack bag that I have made is with child motif, so that the children take their snack to school, but depending on the design you put on it, you can make it the style you want.
Cut out the silhouette you like from a color bag. Enter in the zip lock bag, which is where the snack will go, a sheet of baking paper. This is done so that it does not stick when ironing. Place the silhouette on the bag and on top of it another sheet of greaseproof paper. Pass the the griddle heat for a few seconds and you will see that the plastics are completely fused.
The marker pen permanent bases you can add details to it. In this case, the bear's eyes, muzzle and ears.
Bracelets
To make them bracelets you have to cut three strips of a plastic bag, it does not matter if it is in width or length. Join these strips at one end with silicone hot. Hold them with a clamp, since you must make a braid with them and it will be easier for you. Every 2 or 3 knots of the braid introduce a trinket awarded by the central strip, and keep braiding. So until you make it the length you need.
When you have it done make a knot at the end so that it does not open and fall apart. Hit the closure of the bracelet at the ends by sticking it with hot silicone.
This is how easy it is to make a bracelet recycling plastic bags. What do they look great on?
