I know you can make projects with fusible plastic by itself. But I'm trying to make a bag and forgot to buy interfacing.... Does the plastic disintergrate in the wash? (sry for bad spelling and grammar..)
agree. The plastic bags often end up in places like the ocean on beaches. Would be one less type of item for the volunteer beach clean-up crews to be picking up. Sure, the plastic bags are handy for some things, but I've saved up a bunch already. Several plastic bags can be carried at once, but they will also split under a heavy load, each one doesn't hold much when the baggers try to pack them light. As it happens, we're in the process of making the switch over to reusable bags with the paper ones costing 10 cents each. We'll be joining 75 other jurisdictions in CA that have already made the switch. Trader Joe's the health food stores have done a lot in leading the pack. Trader Joe's sells great colorfully designed vinyl bags the same shape as the paper bags for $1 $2 have had campaigns with prizes drawn for those who bring their own bags. The vinyl bags seem to be lasting 10+ years. I've been using these bags there at the health food store for many years another store that gives us a nickel back for each bag we bring. For bags that don't have sturdy bottoms or sides, I'll put a piece of cardboard or a box inside. Works great for groceries for potluck dishes. Sometimes I bring a nylon insulated picnic carrier with blue ice inside for my milk other perishables. So now the next step will be to start carrying these bags when I go to Safeway other stores like CVS. It's good we'll now have a strong nudge to do this, too. A couple of us at work also use the cloth bags for carrying our lunches rather than buying an expensive lunch tote. So, they can be just as versatile as the plastic paper bags.
I okorder /.. Btw, fused plastic bags aren't made from fusible plastics (some kinds of which you might see at sewing stores). It's just that many types of plastics, like the thin ones used for plastic bags, will easily fuse to each other with heat and pressure.
i dont really understand your question. but if i were you i would email micheals arts supplies and ask them help for what you are doing. jim
