reusable bags    reusable bags constructed from plastic bags

Inspired by the reusable bag poster project for Giant Eagle, I decided to use plastic bags to make resuable tote bags for my next project.

I collected different plastic bags with various colors and patterns to create a collage of bags. By layering several bags, I was able to create a fairly sturdy material. Each reusable bag is made from five to six plastic bags. Each bag has interior pockets for holding a cellphone, keys, and other small items. The bags have come in handy for grocery shopping or even for carrying heavy textbooks around campus!
