I started outside on the deck, because i didn't want the fumes from the heated plastic to be in the house, bothering Harley. It was a bit to chilly outside and the air cooled down the plastic too much to fuse right. I had a few different types of bags to try. not too many colors. I decided to go with a patchwork design....just organic, not a planned out intricate thing. I loved sewing with this stuff! ...and I really dislike sewing. I am usually all about the making of the pieces, and the finishing is what makes me insane. I hate all that fiddly stuff. .
What I ended up with is ok for a first attempt. it is big enough to hold a few magazines and bulky enough to hold some heaviness... The texture of some of the squares reminds me of patent leather which is kind of nice. 
I will try again sometime. I used every plastic bag I had saved for this. 
I do have a headache from the plastic even though I was well ventilated.
