Marina Gryciuk’s Recycled Plastic Bags Cushions

If you’re a regular you’ve probably seen our featured DIY Recycled Tote Bag. Well, strolling through the design store at the Rosario Museum of Contemporary Art we found these cushions with the same concept of knit-recycled-plastic-grocery-bags. They’re made by Argentinean designer and artist Marina Gryciuk, who uses techniques such as crochet and embroidery to reuse bags, cassette plastic tapes and old cloths. They're probably not worth the shipping, but here’s another alternative if you were wondering what to do with those nasty old plastic bags. If you step by Argentina, they’re also a perfect excuse to visit the city of Rosario (about two and a half hours drive from Buenos Aires) and its beautiful museum. ::Rosario Museum of Contemporary Art.

Or make a knitted shopping bag dress. The plastic is more comfortable to wear than I would have thought, stretchy and lots of holes for air-flow.
