How to Make a Bag from Old Magazine's Pages




magazine bag

I see people involve themselves in environmental activities. Some groups of people are creating fund raising events to collect funds for pro-environment projects. I admire those people so much! I wish to be one of them someday. I'd like to do my part as an individual for the revival of the earth. We see climate change, disasters and calamities are very frequent nowadays. Although as Christians, we are ready for these things because they're all  written in the bible and we can not stop it, but that doesn't mean we should just watch our mother earth to destroy and sit back while waiting for the next happening.. This is the main reason why I started this blog handicraft. I want to share knowledge to my readers  how they can do their share to save our environment in a very simple way...recycling!
Today I'm gonna show you another way on how to recycle an old magazine by sharing the procedure on how to make a bag from old magazine pages This project is a bit similar to how to make bangles using plastic foils because of the folding procedure. The procedure on making a magazine bag is very easy, just follow the folding instructions below:
The step by step in plastic wrapper fold.
Make folded pages chains, for this project, I made 5 chains.
These are the edges, you have to connect them by inserting the ends and lock them with a string .


There you have the circle chains.

Connect the circle chains by a string (please bear with me if  you get confused with the colors) The string in the  picture is black.

After weaving the magazine bag, this is how the product will look like.
Again, you need a little stitching here to connect the bottom. 


Now we have the body. Add handles to finish the product and we have this result...

Does your imagination becomes more aggressive now? Are you thinking to make your own woven bag using other materials such as used plastics, candy wrappers of plastic foils? Yes you can! You can do it using other materials I've mentioned. It's fun and very exciting!, just think that you're doing this to minimize wastes and it will have a good effect on our environment. Have fun!
