Diy Video Tutorial: Upcycled Plastic Bottle Handbag!

I decided to make myself this Plastic Bottle Handbag when I received an invitation to a party. I needed a new handbag but didn’t want to waste the money for an item I would use only a couple of times. Instead, I created this fun, unique and budget-friendly purse and I’m so happy with it!

Make the perfect conversation piece: A fashion-forward Upcycled Plastic Bottle Handbag!

I made this bag out of 22-liter water bottles, a couple of old shirts, zipper, belt and snap buttons. I made full instructions and photos available here.

First, empty a 2-liter bottle and cut the tapered top and beveled bottom off so you're left with the center that is straight for this Upcycled Plastic Bottle Handbag.
