It's "Dressed In Bags" Monday!


This dress was made out of recycled plastic shopping bags. It was ironed together to form "seams" and you can see pictures of it being worn here.

The Treehugger blog has some other great links to this and other plastic-bag fabric projects, including a link to Etsy's helpful plastic-bag revamping tutorial.

This reminds me of the bread bag rugs my grandmother used to make.

How were those made?

mostly by taking old bread bags and twisting them a lot so they were yarn-like, then I think they were either crocheted, or woven into small little rugs
