GET A LIFE BAG!
 <  Image 1 of 2  > 

Here is my bag 4 life! I read on the net somewhere u could fuse loads of layers of plastic bags 2gether 2 make them stronger and last longer.....
So I DID!!
An here they are! I backed them with a pair of old curtains inside 4 extra strength!(so I can put heavy stuff in!)And I have stopped stuff going 2 landfill 2!!!
My friends and family think I am crazy! n keep looking for some lost medication they swear I should be taking!
But I don't agree!
So here's my BAG 4 LIFE!

I actually bought one quite like this from Target. It didn't have any liner on the inside, just recycled Target bags. I like it a lot... It's lasted a lot longer than any $1 'reusable' bag I've bought. I'd love to take a stab at making one myself w/ some cute plastic bags I came across. ~Thanks~
