Welcome to Green Bumblebee!

I have always loved sewing and creating original gifts for my family and friends. I have combined that with a goal to be a little "greener" and that is how Green Bumblebee was born. I use recycled and reclaimed materials as much as possible in my designs. My clothing items are made using vintage fabrics- mostly reclaimed tablecloths. My plastic bags are made by fusing multiple layers of used plastic shopping bags and vinyl tablecloths.

If you are interested in more of my items please visit greenbumblebee.etsy.com and if you would like to request something specific please email me at greenbumblebeedesigns@yahoo.com

Recycled Plastic Bags

These eco-friendly bags are made using recycled plastic shopping bags and tablecloths. The process uses heat to fuse together layers of old plastic to create a fabric-like material. The bags are incredibly durable and because they are made from plastic, are water resistant as well. I can make a variety of bags depending on my supply of plastic. Email me if you are interested in something specific (size, color, design, etc).
