“How to turn those pesky plastic grocery bags that seem to pile up into a cool dog leash and also help keep plastic bags out of our landfills, one dog at a time!” You don’t have to own a dog to make these, just donate what you make to your local animal shelter or dog rescue. You can make this a class project then let the kids donate what the’ve made to their local animal shelter or dog rescue, I’m sure they would love them for it!
If everyone make a commitment to become a recycler will keep stuff out of landfills, help the city and country save money on garbage collection and in addition, it is also good for the environment and for the planet givetome.net
You can use plastic bags kinda like newspaper for wrapping stuff. maybe if you’re desperate for packing material, but still!
That’s a really cool idea.

Love it! Thanks for sharing the video
Would be great to donate to shelters I think!
i tried this project just now but i didn’t glue em i used an iron and overlapped the bags about 2 inches and put aluminum foil underneath and on top and gave it a quick heating. but i didn’t make mine long enough so i turned it into a dog collar
Very clever!!
i cant help but think you have wasted more resources on glue production than you have saved with 20 odd bags which will take weeks to accumulate. Its an unreliable lead and looks dodgy, takes ages to make and requires tools such as glue, applier, dog hook etc
Very neat! I think I would fuse them with heat rather than glue as another viewer suggested, but yeah! Great project — thanks much
Great idea, but I doubt that glue would really hold a dog leash together for very long unless it was just a very tiny toy dog. A lab or other large breed would pull the leash apart in seconds.
Once the leash is together it will hold a large dog, you must make sure everything is tight, not loose. First dog I used one on was a Great Dane in Obedience class, worked great. Please try it and watch my video on how to make a recycle bag leash without any glue, much faster and eaiser and just as strong as a nylon rope.
A friend makes them for her horses.
now I can Recycle pastic bag! there’s alot of great things that u can do with plastic bags,and it can save our enviorment.:) Let’s Make the World BEtter:))
im pretty sur that will rip with a pit bull pulling i
tself
Whoa! That’s amazing! By any chance do you think this will work with a braiding strategy will be strong enough, for say… A 6 pound Chihuahua?
This is about your leashes made of bags is it possible for you to make one and send it
I’ve never tried to braid the plastic bags…. I think though that this square knot would be much tighter and stronger even for a 6 lb Chihuahua.
Works great on my 12 lb Min Pin.
My friend made one for her horse and has been using it for a couple of years now, she loves it.
Be sure to watch my video on how to make this leash with out any glue!
Thanks for watching!
@AmericanPitBulls, about your question, depends where are you located?? I’ve shattered my left hand a few months ago, but will be happy to try and make you a leash, it will just take me longer.
Thanks for taking the time to put this video together. It’s a great concept!!!!! I really appreciate your efforts!
Thank you Harmony for your kind words!
Can you make a dog collar out of these plastic bags?
Yes, you could if you wanted to, don’t know how the dog would feel about it. I think I would try to make one out of yarn as that might feel better on the dog’s neck.
If you make one send me a picture please! I shattered my hand and can’t make much of anything anymore.
aww I am so sorrie to hear about you hand, I will pray that you get better. Ok I will do that, yesterday I homemade my dog a collar out of rope, if you want you can check out the video. and thanks for the reply
sorry to read that. be well.
You know , you can cut the bottom off a bag and then cut a helex out of it givne you a lenthg of say 15 feet put as many as you want and weave them together after you spin them
Lovely Idea!
