I came across these zipper bags at a flea market in Berlin and fell in love with this idea of reusing packaging trash from chocolates, caffee or other products.

Inspired by this idea I started making them myself.

Maybe I can make some more over the winter and start selling them myself at the next flea market season. That way I could support a wunderful and important project run by friends of mine in Romania.

I had to redo all the wiring and discard the rotor and armature winding. On the bright side, it provided a perfect fit for an E27 socket, which I equipped with an Edison-style incandescent bulb that casts a warm, soft glow.

hand painted using SPEEDBALL TEXTILE PAINT !!! and squeeze bottles

All second hand materials (except some of the interfacing). It's similar to the Baggu purse. The strap and hooks are from a torn messenger bag. Added a koi applique (small scraps from other projects) for some zazz. Passed cat inspection.

Mesh hat his starting to fuzz, sorry don’t have pic right now.

I’ve always used super glue for backpacks and stuff but it’s scratchy, any recommendations of a hat
