Fused Plastic Bags - Recyled

Have been busy sewing and making things out of my painted fused plastic bags. I made a couple of glasses cases with felt on the inside, note book covers and little clutches. I also created a folder from a cereal box which is my favourite - I can see myself using this and would like to made some more as I use up by cereal! Have taken a lot of photos of each bag and can see me using this as a background for future projects of some sort.

Fused Plastic Bags

Here are photos of my painted fused plastic bags and one cereal box. I have embellished a couple of the bags with some sewing, cord and yarn. My next step will be to "create" something useful from each one. I have used acrylic paint on all of them and then sprayed a matt finish to help seal them. But I have found that you can still scratch the paint off the plastic. So I really need to find a paint that adheres a little bit better to the plastic.
