My Recycled Bags: the blog for polythene chic
I've got to admit defeat at some point soon and come to terms with the fact that I will never be able to keep tabs on every single recycled or 'eco' bag that comes into existence. So I am more than glad to defer to the expertise of the aptly-named 'Recycled Cindy' on this matter, who runs the blog My Recycled Bags.
In the blog, she regularly features her own recycled bag creations along with step-by-step instructions on how to make them. She takes all sorts of raw materials to make the bags, including old denim jeans, crocheted polythene and even video tape ribbon (pictured). Ever wanted to know how to crochet a granny square out of old bags? Cindy will show you how. As well as the familiar tote-style shoppers, you'll find patterns for bags of all sorts here: clutch bags, lunch sacks, make-up bags and just loads more really inventive recycling ideas.
If that all sounds a bit too crafty for you, you can also buy Cindy's products here.
