Handbag – ‘The Mailing Bag’

Small upcycled fully lined handbag with an adjustable velcro fastening. The base is stiffened using a clear plastic blister pack.

Materials used: plastic mailing bag, plastic blister pack

Size (approx): 23.5cm wide x 9cm deep x 18cm high
Handles: 37cm long (16.5cm from top of the bag to the top of the handles)

This item is made from ‘plastic fabric’ which I make from a variety of plastic packaging; bread bags, bubble wrap, toilet tissue wrappers, dry cleaner bags, plastic mailing bags, etc. The plastic is either woven or just layered and pressed flat with a hot iron causing the plastic to melt enough to create a ‘fabric’ which is strong enough to be stitched.
