[EN] DIY - A miniature shopping bag.

Here is my quick tutorial on how to upcycle a used shopping bag into 2 miniature shopping bags for your Coles Mini Collectables

1.Please cut along the dotted line

2.Please spread it out and cut along the dotted line to remove an excess part

3.Use a lighter or a heat sealing machine to seal an open side of a miniature shopping bag. If you use a lighter like me, you can also use a metal ruler to keep it straight but I did it freehand because I didn't have one with me.

4.As you can see from this photo, the right side of my miniature shopping bag is already sealed.

5.Please turn to the side and cut along the dotted line to split this part.

6.Now we have 4 separate straps

7.Heat seal along the red lines with a lighter or a heat sealing machine. If you use a lighter like me, you can also use a metal ruler to keep it straight but I did it freehand because I didn't have one with me. Once you are done with sealing, you can cut along the dotted line to remove an excess part.

8.Please trim down the handles of your miniature shopping bag in this step, if needed. Now we have a completed miniature shopping bag.

9.Let's compare size with a Cole Mini Collectable!

10.It is just perfect for my miniature Pantene!

And it works well with a Daily Juice bottle.

11.Our miniature shopping bag comes with working handles too.

12.Repeat steps 1 to 11 to make a second miniature shopping bag from remaining handle.
