In this video, we’re trying out what is probably the easiest way to recycle plastic bags at home - and all you need is a standard iron.

By layering the plastic bags and heating them up, you can make a super durable plastic sheet. Plus with a bit of creativity, you can come up with some fun patterns!

Once our sheet cooled down, we decided to turn it into some bookmarks. They are super simple to make, really satisfying and make a sweet little gift idea.

If you want to add tassels to your bookmarks like we did at the end of the video, check out this handy tutorial that showed us how to do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vKzXwMq7kE

Let us know what you would make out of a recycled plastic sheet!
