There was someone doing these in Herefordshire when we lived there... brilliant... and entirely usable. She made them from cardboard too. I've been looking for plans ever since.

Hi
My stupid computer here at work won't play the video. I gather it's something about making handbags from newspaper. Does it say anything about how they stop them tearing or going soggy in the rain?

Cheers
Zoe

They're quite attractive bags!
i wonder if there's instructions anywhere for making one.

I seem to recall that the lady in herefordshire sealed them in some way - I've got a photograph somewhere that has her contact details on so will look it up and ask her for some hints and tips.

Yep, the veg shop that I sell some veggies to had some hanging behind the counter the other day. I asked about them and they did admit that one customer put her veggies in one and the ar*e dropped out of the bag....

I was even further confused when they stated that they were imported from India

Good idea, but surely in the wrong location.....
