RFID Shielding Pouch Out of 'Trash'

Step 4 Cut plastic bags

#9, 8x16 (20.5x41) black rectangle strips
#21, 8x8 (20.5x20.5) black squares + several extra pieces for testing how to fuse
#21, 8x8 (20.5x20.5) clear squares + several extra pieces for testing how to fuse

(These are 'soft' measurements. If you're off +/- a half inch or so, it's OK)

a. Cut plastic bags using a straight edge & Xacto. The different bags I used were almost the same size, so that made things easy.

b. Unwrap one bag from the roll. Do not unfold the bag. It's easier to cut strips off while the plastic bag is still in a long, folded strip. Draw the bag across your cutting surface and cut off strips approx. 8" (20.5) wide.

c. Unfold those strips so they are at #4 layers thick. Slice off the folded ends so you end up with a neat stack of plastic bag strips. Cut in half for your squares.

**Important Note** these bag cutting instructions and quantities of layers relate to the size and kind of bags I used. Improvise for what you have available to you. The goal is to have layers of bags as uniform in dimension as possible.
