I'm not sure where I found the idea to fuse plastic bags, but I tried it and now I'm obsessed. I found the tutorial
here. Basically, you iron 4 or 5 plastic bags together between layers of wax paper to make a thicker, more durable plastic "fabric." Check

Malia and I experimented with it over Christmas and then I
had to make more and more. So this morning, I made these:

I also made another lunch bag, but I don't like it so much. And I also made a little black pouch to keep in my purse for receipts and coupons and junk like that....but I'm too lazy to get my camera out again.
