Really Final

CONCEPT: The concept is to show that we should give importance to the nature. Therefore, I make the handle look like a tree trunk and have roots that cuddle with the bag. This is like tree roots loving the bag because it helps reducing trashes on earth. As for the handle, I use green plastic bag because I want to show that there are green leaves at the top.

FINAL:INITIAL SKETCH:

Sewing

Because I don't know how to sew, I went to my aunt house to ask for help. My aunt sew it and I am the assistant.

The process of making a bag start with creating a rough model about how it is going to look like. Therefore, I drew a model of the final bag. There are several problems in between in the process of making a model because my idea doesn't match with the reality. On of the problem is at the bottom of the bag where the strap line is not made to bend in my model so the bag would not have a nice final looking. Here are some pictures I took while making the model:



you have to make two sides equal therefore I draw only half a bag and copy the rest

Final look

After thinking for a long time, I decide to take vinyl coated fiberglass insect screen to make a bag. As I see it,it is very strong and flexible. The color of the insect screen is in dark gray color.
The reason I use insect screen is that, when people change their insect screen, there are some parts are perfectly fine but because of a small disable part, the whole thing have to be thrown away. This is because insect screen can't be rain and can't be cut to wipe something off. Therefore, instead of throwing the sheet away, why not make a bag!? The bag will have a concept of fusing the nature with insect screen. Therefore, I decide to create a tree image as a handle holding the bottom bag part at the bottom.



The insect screen has a cross feature like this. The lines are all connected to each other.


Other than the insect screen the following materials are needed:

• green plastic bag
• thread
• needle and pin
  
• scissor

My first idea of using a recycle material to make a bag, I thought of T-shirt. However, serfing on the internet, I found out that there are so many design to make a bag out of T-shirt as it is very easy. T-shirt feature itself already has the look of a bag. This is one of the way to make a bag. HOW TO MAKE A T-SHIRT BAG:
