How To Upcycle Plastic Shopping Bags Into A Braided Dog Leash

Step 5Fusing The Plastic Strips

Fusing The Plastic Strips
This part needs a soft touch and is a delicate step. Gently and lightly run the iron back and forth ONE TIME, in the general area of where the seam is. Do this quickly, it literally only takes a second to fuse the bags together. If you press too hard, there is a possibility that you can tear holes in the plastic. Now gently peel back the foil sleeve, not too quickly or you might damage the seam.

TIP- open the window and work with a fan when fusing the strips because the plastic can generate vapors that are unhealthy to breathe.
