Check out some of the best Dollar Store Crafts from this week!

Fused Plastic Backpack: $2

Everyone here has tried fusing plastic, right? Well, I found some pink garbage bags and a printed luau wall hanging and combined them to make some tropical fused plastic. I wrote a tute for fusing the plastic in case you haven't done it, and also instructions for this over-the-shoulder backpack.

Stuffed Animal Headphones: $3

I'm in love with the idea of making stuffed animals into electronics, and these are so cute!

Reusable Swiffer Covers: $1

For those of us who should be cleaning instead of crafting, here's another way to procrastinate!

Check out more great ideas on the cheap at Dollar Store Crafts.

Aha I always looked at swiffer's with the thought that they had the potential to be great but, all that waste!! I love the idea for the reusable cover. :)

@nice_and_shiny I haven't tried doing paper between the plastic, but I iron my plastic between paper and it doesn't stick... makes me think it wouldn't be that successful. You could try stenciling on plastic (or carving a stamp & printing), with acrylic paint, and then fusing it into the plastic. Definitely worth some experimentation.

Is it possible to fuse paper in between the plastic bag layers? I want to put pictures in my fused plastic without looking for printed plastic bags...
