Duct Tape Make-up/Toilet Bag for Her and Him
I travel a lot for my job and I have had a lot of troubles at boarders with my toilet bag. After many attempts I managed to build a long lasting (most of the plastic bags couldn't make more than one way) bag using transparent tape. I adapted this design with coloured duct tape to make it funnier.
I would like to share it with you today.
What you will need:
- A freezing bag,
- Duct tape, best of different sizes and colours,
- Utility knife and/or X-facto knife,
- Ruler
- A flat surface as a cutting mat
Let's build it!
If you like this I'ble, like it and vote!
Setting Your Bag
First we will cut the zipper from the the freezing bag.
Take the freezing bag and cut the zipper using the ruler and a knife. You would then have 2 parts for the zipper.
Take one of your zipper parts and position it straight on the cutting mat.
Glue a strip of duct tape, side to side of the zipper. Then glue as much other bands as needed with a little overlap. This will set the width and the height of your pouch. Flip the zipper and glue it in a little hem.
Flip the assembly and glue other bands of duct tape on the back (sticky) of your mounting.
You should end with a two-sided duct tape folio.
Repeat the instructions with the other part of the zipper.
Make It a Bag
Take your two folios and assemble them using the zipper.
Position each part carefully in order to obtain the desired size/effect.
Using your ruler and utility knife, remove all extra tape.
Tape a band of duct tape on the bottom of one folio, allowing a part to be flipped and glued on the other folio, creating a connection between the two. Remove extra duct tape and do the same with the sides of your bag.
Once done... you're done. You have a bag.
Decoration
If your bag is now finished, it is much better and more beautiful with a little decorating effort.
I have used some masking tapes of different sizes and colours to decorate my 2 bags. I used the ruler to regularly positions the bands.
Et voilĂ !
