Plastic Bags? Before you throw check this out.

My daughter kept loosing her water bottle and its holder in school. It is likely that everyone is using similarly looking ones that she finds it so difficult to locate her own once it is misplaced. Over a weekend, instead of going out to buy her another water bottle holder, I decided to create one for her.

So, will I be upset if she loose it again? Not likely going to happen again because it is too personalized to be mistaken for others and I did enjoy pleating the plastic bags I have on hand to create them. I love creating 2-1 solutions. Don't you?



Flowers I created from plastic bags to decorate the children's lanterns for the lantern festival.
