Five Crafty Projects to Upcycle Your Potato Chip Bags

My Papa is really fond of mending pretty much anything that needs to be mended with thick sheets of aluminum. He “mended”  a crack in the ceiling, a loose table leg, and even the torn strap on my duffel bag with aluminum and rivets.

If you, too, have something that you need to mend (not your ceiling–please, call a professional for that one) with a sturdy patch, then I’d suggest that instead of using sheets of aluminum, you should check out this tutorial for chip bag patches from Instructables member wocket. You can’t wash these patches, but there are plenty of places where a sturdy, attractive patch onto non-washable material would come in handy.
