Yesterday I made some new bunting for my garden ... out of plastic carrier bags! A while ago I started trading under ReJenisis. The name, as unusual as it is, was meant to be a combination of Re for recycle and Jen as in my name. I have been incredibly interested in creating something beautiful from something which would otherwise be thrown away. Making bunting from plastic bags was something I developed and worked on for a while. One thing I discovered, was that there are limits to the different coloured bags you can get with your shopping. I was also finding that in order to get the bags I wanted that I would buy things I wouldn't necessary normally do just so that I could get the bag I wanted! Now I supplement my creations with coloured bags I bought on a roll. Although this means that my bunting isn't 100% recycled, it does mean that they are even more beautiful and I don't go wasting money just to get a bag I want!
So here it is, my lovely cheerful bunting. I alternated rainbow colours with floral ones. Hopefully you can see enough detail.
It is now hung in my garden, looking pretty, and in the case of such a dreary wet day today, it has certainly made the garden more cheerful!
