so, i've been making plastic bag wallets. these have come along way from my first attempt (a fail) and i must say im quite proud of these. they are a lot of fun to piece together.

im hopefully going to start selling these online (among other places ;)). i have no idea when my shop is going to open, as im still trying to balance my creative life with my school life.

any suggestions for shop names would be very much appreciated, i am so bad at coming up with good names...

without further ado, the wallets! :D

this one has pieces that are uneven but somehow that makes it better. hooray!

im not actually a huge fan of orange, but this one came out very well. oh, and if you haven't it figured out, i am a huge fan of stitch details.

and this one i really love, the light green plastic layered on top are see through, so it adds a nice effect.

that is all! for now, i have several wallets (and a bag!) in the making.
...if i can survive my chem test on friday *head desk*

I LOVE THESE. I LOVE YOU. SO MUCH.

Seriously, these are amazing!! The last one is my favorite--mostly because I'm a sucker for anything blue, ha. The way you piece them together has such a clean, slick, modern feel, & your creative stitching patterns add so much! Oh man, we should totally do a swap sometime! Maybe after Christmas/New Years? OHH do you do messenger bags? I would buy one!! i could totally see them in your unique style... epic.

I second, or third, or somewhere like 13th the love of your stitched! They look so great. All my attempts with plastic bags... failed... terribly. They either didn't fuse all the way through, or they fused too much and got too stiff/ holey. I would most definitely buy one

Oooh I love these!I tried fusing plastic and failed big time!haha!
I love the random stitching on them too,makes them even cooler!I bet you're going to sell a ton of these when you get a shop going!
