Recycled Birdfeed Bags
Comments: 5 - Date: June 9th, 2008 - Categories: Wearable Art
Here’s one of the new shapes I’m working on for my “birdfeed bag” bags…it’s still rounded on the bottom, but a bit shorter. This one’s literally a “hand-bag”, but I’ll be trying out more styles with longer handles, too. Because personally, I like to cart around my stuff using my shoulder so my hands will be free. I save myself the trouble of cleaning up a lot of spilled tea and coffee that way!
I’ve also got some dogfood bags with nice images on them, so I suppose I’ll also be making “dogfood bag” bags in the coming weeks! To see some of the other styles that I make out of plastic grocery bags, visit the post here.

These are great! Fun and great recycling. I’m running a trash fashion course with some young people next term (Gloucestershire, England), can I show them these pictures?
I’ve enjoyed looking at your Blog.

Thanks so much!
Of course, Lizzie, you may show your students anything on this website
I’ll also be adding more images to my gallery soon (hopefully some accessories and smaller things that I’ve been working on).

Hi Jamie. I read on etsy that you said these bags were plastic. Did I read that correctly? I have not seen bags that were made of plastic. Just curious about that and their durability. Thanks.

Yes, these are plastic. I line them with fabric, and they are indeed very durable. I’m working on some new shapes today, too!
