Here's the finished bag I have been making from recycled carrier bags . I think I must have started cutting the strips narrower as it started going in at the top so instead of being a tote bag it's now a hand bag. I had one of those eureka moments while sleeping on how to make the handle lol I hope you will all carry on recycling and putting things that would other wise be dicarded to good use as we have seen some clever ideas this last month :)
It actually measures 10" at the base and 9/12 to the top of the handle just enough pace for a purse, phone, note book , pen and lippy

Fabulous bag Von love the handles and all the random colours. Can I stop feeling guilty now when throwing out plastic bags? XOXO Zoe
That is brilliant - might even have a go myself. I think you need to do more and ore recycling ideas as you came up with some great ones. Hugs, Neetx
Well as long as the lippy fits in that's fine with me !! I love this but how did you make it and how long did it take I want one !! I have a handbag fetish you see and this is just so unique.
