My final project idea is the encouragement of reusing daily household items. Such as, Tea Bags. Turning the material of a tea bag into a reusable and eco-friendly bag. The idea is if you stitch the teabags together you could create something function out of once a flimsy piece of material. With the different tone of the bags you can create patterns within the sewn bags, creating an aesthetic yet eco bag. Almost every household drinks tea and it’s an easily accessible material, by doing so you cut down on waste as tea bags are made of plastic or a portion of plastic and are not compostable.
