Plastic bags that come home every time we shop, becomes a huge waste.
Here is a way to use these plastic bags. Make some lovely flowers out of it!!
Step (1): Cut in the indicated areas to get a rectangular sheet . |
Step (3) Make pleats on them (stacked together) of half inch width throughout |
Step (4): Now tie a thread/ plastic strip/ in the middle. If you want the flower to have a stem tie with metal wire instead of plastic strip. |
Step (5) Now cut petal shape on both sides |
Step (6): This is how it will look |
Step (7): Now start pulling up the individual layers on both side of the tie |
Step (8) This is how it looks after pulling out one side completely. Continue pulling out the layers on both sides of the tie. |
Step (9) Two flowers that I made in similar fashion |
Step (10) Now add it to a bouquet or make one out of similar bunch of flowers |
Have a great day folks.
While looking at the pictures I was wondering what you gonna make by a plastic cover.. I am just amazed at the end to see beautiful flowers in the end :) So cute work. Hope many learns such things and delay the process of ending up plastic on garbage to pollute. Keep up the great work.
