how to: make a messenger bag from trash


This is very cool. In fact I really want to try this, but to be honest I got a little intimidated by the use of the Fibonacci Sequence, and the Pythagorean Theorem : h2 + (c/2)2 = b2 WHAT?!

(For the record…those words are banned from this blog. Along with empirical, polysyllabic and hydrostatic equilibrium)

I guess figuring out the pattern’s dimensions would be just as rewarding as making the bag. Anyway, watch the video and be inspired. I sure was.

The PDF for the pattern can be found here.

    Wow!! I hardly know what to say. You know, my 15 year old niece has acually made a messenger bag (and a pair of hightops) out of duct tape. They’re pretty awesome. If you decide to try this, I would like to see it.
