Oct 29, 2008 - okay so i really wanna make a bag..and i have one that says "heartbreaker" (from hearbreaker obviously) but like..if i turn it inside out wont it say heartbreaker backwards..? so what do i do?

warbastard Says:

Oct 30, 2008 - yeah completely agree with you. destroy a bag to make a bag. f**king pointless. this sort of eco bullcrap pisses me off.

warbastard Says:

Oct 30, 2008 - or just not use plastic bags in the first place.

Nov 2, 2008 - I wonder what the background song is..

Nov 3, 2008 - Well the purpose of turning it inside out was so that the iron was ironing plastic, rather than ink. So find some other bags that don't have logos, then keep your heartbreaker bag right side out, but sandwich it between 1-2 layers of the other plastic bags. So when you iron it, you will be ironing the plastic, and the ink will be sandwiched between the plastic on the inside and won't melt everywhere. You might want to experiment with some other bags, but it should work.

Nov 5, 2008 - lol, the girl said that the best thickness is 8 layers, she folds it twice... THAT's 4 LAYERS!!! Can't you ppl count xD But the idea is cool though, i'm going to try it too sometime

Nov 7, 2008 - I'm not sure if anyone else has already said this but plastic trash bags come with chemicals in them that kill germs and oders. They tell you not to store food in them. I'm not sure about plastic store bags but still there are dangerous chemicals. Enjoy the cancer :)

davidscalling Says:

Nov 7, 2008 - Nabooru1991, I may be wrong but aren't there two sides to a plastic bag, so folding a bag twice will result in 8 layers? If that is what she means. I just folded a plastic bag twice and counted the layers and got 8. But she did cut open the bag first before folding so --- I'm confused. :) LOL By the way trash bags are toxic and are not meant for food storage or storage of any kind. The chemicals are added purposly by the company for sanitation purposes.

Nov 7, 2008 - You know....people like you drive me batty. I am not a eco person at all. Use all the bags you want. These people came up with something. A useable something. Why tear them down. You arent doing anything!

captainnesan Says:

Nov 8, 2008 - Yeah, and how about we just stop using the plastic bags. Then we don't have to recycle them, because in all honesty. Your recycling, Eco-Friendly, tree hugging bullshit comes down to nothing! It wastes more energry to recycle and we're not running out of resources or having a terrible problem with landfills. Do your research, you Recycling, Dirty Humping Wastes of Money to run your damned Recycling Centers! Now more people will get plastic bags to make this shit!

warbastard Says:

Nov 11, 2008 - i'll tell you one thing i'm not doing and that's doubling the waste I produce in a vain attempt to make something that looks like crap. what are you meant to do with the clipless bag? bin it? plus it was probably made by some kid in taiwan. just say no at the shop counter when offered these plastic bags or recycle them next time you go.

thegenero Says:

Nov 12, 2008 - she only cut off the bottom and the handles, so the plastic was already doubled. Then she folded it twice and...count it. eight layers.

jststmpit Says:

Nov 12, 2008 - Where's the pdf that he mentioned?

xxx0wn3rxxx4 Says:

Nov 16, 2008 - why doesnt he just use the backpack he bought?

Honeybabymarie Says:

Nov 16, 2008 - This so cool! I'm going to make a DS Case using this video. Also all of you recycle haters...SUCK COCK. These people are doing what they can to save OUR planet. What the fuck are you doing. NOTHING...thats what I thought. Also just about everything causes cancer so unless they are sniffing the plastic after they iron it I"m sure they will be fine.

Honeybabymarie Says:

Nov 16, 2008 - Gosh your dumb.

roxyimawesome Says:

Nov 17, 2008 - or you can go buy a messenger bag for 15$

EpicanthicFolds Says:

Nov 19, 2008 - That is genius! Thank you for sharing

Vulcan1576 Says:

Nov 20, 2008 - Dude, this is ridiculous. That bag was fugly, and I don't even wanna know how much wax paper he wasted making that thing.

alizta Says:

Nov 20, 2008 - Yes, now the video actually is named "make a messenger bag", not "buy a messenger bag". You can also go and watch TV instead of doing something yourself, but to some of us that just isn't any fun. Also, please go to a store and ask them to make a messenger bag to exactly the way you want it... i guarantee it is going to cost *a lot* more than $15.

pita9 Says:

Nov 21, 2008 - haha...not using that backpack because he wants a messenger bag. yay! a new use for garbage bags that don't fit the trash cans. i must admit this idea's a good one to use those bags. just don't waste all that wax paper though. that was a lot used.
