Day 5 - Highlight #2

Today we made purses out of recycled plastic bags. We learned that millions of loggerhead sea turtles die from ingesting plastic bags when they mistake them for jellyfish. We made the purses by taking layers of plastic bags and melting them together to make a fabric that we could tape and staple together into the form of a handbag. We added zippers to them and decorated them with details. We all really enjoyed learning about how we could save the sea turtles while making fashionable accessories.

The bag I made was very cute. However, it is in the van right now and it is pouring down rain. We will post a picture later.

See ya later alligators,
