Make a better stronger plastic bag from all the bags you have around the house.
I thought this was a silly idea when it occurred to me but it was too easy to make these handles, nest the bags, and try it. Now I have a bunch of them around because I found them quite sturdy and re-re-reusable.

Signing UpStep 1You will need
4" x 8" fabric - robust enough to stand up to being a handle
8" Velcro - both hook and loop parts
sewing machine
thread
scissors
a bunch of clean enough reusable same size plastic bags
Instead of sewing, you could use iron-on adhesive if you have one that's strong enough. Or you could use sticky back Velcro. I don't have much experience with these methods for this kind of project.

Add some bubble-wrap in between the layers and it's a cooler too!

Nice idea. This is the "deluxe" model, though. I think I'll try it with Walmart bags and use duck tape for the handles. That'll definitely impress the neighbors.
