Default New ideas for recycling plastic bags.

I had to share this one with you because the chandelier really impressed me. Its made completely from plastic bags.

Quote:
The puffy chandelier was made by draping 60 used plastic grocery bags over five energy-efficient 11-watt bulbs. (A wire-mesh basket around each bulb keeps the chandelier from melting into a gooey blob or bursting into flames.) “They’re all from the same store, and when it’s on, it’s a luminous pink — there’s red writing on the bags,” Mr. Velten explains.


One would have to be extremely careful when making a chandelier of this type but the one on the right is quite nice and would be worth the time and effort to make it.

Easy plastic bag bunnies


1. Stuff a plastic bag with cotton.


2. Tie a knot at the top and put a rubber band over the bag to make a bunny head. Then add another rubber band to make a tail.


3. Draw or stick on facial features


You can make your bunny look exactly like you want from here.


Give it a try with the kids,they will love it.
