Encourage your friends, family and students to refuse plastic bags by decorating their own beautiful up-cycled bag. This activity extends from the first Joined up-cycled bag project. In the first project I showed you how to organise the collection of sheets, table cloths etc and looked at ways to employ local people to make the bags. To decorate your bags I have used lino prints and stencils. An oil based printing ink or oil paint works well and ensures the bag can be washed.
