Reusing Shopping bags

As much as I try to reuse my plastic grocery bags they have begun to overtake me. I think I saw this in a magazine a while back so, I decided to make my own reusable bag. (Remember...it is my first one)

I sorted the bags by store.

Cut the handles off and placed several bags to make it thick and durable between Parchment paper. Then applied heat to bond them together.

I kept adding bags until I had used about 10. I made 2 of these so I would have one for each side.

I cut around the edges and applied matching duck tape. For a handle I just stuck 2 pieces of the tape together. Now I have a durable reusable shopping bag.

The only thing I would do different for my next one is make it a little bigger.
