Help Me Reuse and Recycle!
While I love to make waterproof bags, dog beds, and all sorts of other projects, I don’t love introducing new plastics and “stuff” into the world.
If you ever have any of the following items available for donation or sale please let me know so I can try give them a second life, or get a custom order together with your supplies:
Dry bags and rafts that have ripped/popped.
Discarded Portatanks. IYKYK.
Retired rain gear in large sizes
Any PVC coated materials
Generally any thick fabrics, upholstery, or canvas (Think old curtains and table clothes)
RV beds, Couch cushions, or thick mattress toppers for Dog beds
Expired climbing webbing, soft goods that are in good shape but are too old to be trusted
Tyvek! The last bit on the roll doesn’t go far on the construction site, but its a huge amount to me!
Vinyl (event signage, banners)
Reach out here to coordinate if there’s anything you’d like to send my way!

EXTRA LARGE
WATERPROOF TOTE
This was some sort of inflatable cushion for a patio set, found at a second hand store with a note that said “leaks”.
The material was canvas on one side and rubberized on the other, I stripped the material of baffles and made this tote. Its been reinforced with a piece of raincoat at the bottom and a strip of a vinyl sign at the top, and lined with left over ripstop from my other projects. More of these to come as I find materials!
Dog Bowls
This dry bag of mine had been on its last leg for a while, taped up in many places. I decided to re purpose what was salvageable and created collapsible pack able dog bowls. These are great for traveling, and sold out at my first market! More to come when I have more supplies
Dog Beds
These beds were made from a twin RV bed cut into thirds. the covers are removable, washable, and a compilation of second hand upholstery I’ve collected. Here you seeing a Mexican blanket, corduroy, some soft upholstery from the original RV bed, and a few other pieces from my drawers.
