Ecoweave
I take empty and unloved crisp packets and upcycle them to create wonderfully functional products. Wrappers that would otherwise end up as landfill are lovingly woven into unique designs that are useful, hard wearing and eye catching. All of my products are made with common UK packets, can you spot them all?
Cross Body Bag
Packed full of flavours
A slim cross body bag with a strong magnetic closure, made for everyday carrying. There is room for all your essentials, and the matching strap leaves your hands free.
Each one is woven from more than 200 crisp packets and takes around a fortnight to make. Shown here in the multicoloured style, which is the one most people go for. Other colours and themes are always possible, so tell me what you have in mind.

Medium Handbag
Stylish and practical
A medium handbag with a secure zip, sized for everyday use. Big enough for your essentials, smart enough to take anywhere, and the zip keeps everything safely out of sight.
Shown in the traditional multicoloured style, which gives the most scope for an impromptu game of 'name the packet'. It takes around 115 crisp packets and four or five days to make.
Large Clutch Bag
Eye-catchingly elegant
Handcrafted from more than 100 crisp packets and finished with a quality magnetic clasp. Shown here in multicoloured, though like everything else it can be made in whatever takes your fancy.
Small Clutch Bag
Perfectly formed
Big enough for a purse, a phone and a couple of other bits, small enough that it never gets in your way. If you have a colour or pattern in mind, get in touch and I will see what I can do.
Small Purse
Small but sturdy
Made from around 16 packets, the standard size holds coins, notes and a couple of cards while still fitting in a pocket. They make good presents.
The zip is secure, so nothing works its way out.
Wash / Makeup Bag
Perfect at home or away
Equally at home on a bathroom shelf or packed in a suitcase. A quality zip and a wide opening mean you can actually find what you are looking for.
Shown here in the multicoloured style. If you have a particular colour or theme in mind, I am always glad to hear ideas.

Bookmark
For the bookworms
Screens have their place, but sometimes it is better to leave them behind and get lost in a paper book. Each bookmark comes with a sturdy eyelet and ribbon, and can be made in any colour you like.
Pencil Case
A gift for the gifted
A practical case for pens, pencils, brushes and cables, equally at home on a desk or tucked into a bag. Made with quality zip closures they will withstand many years of use.
Glasses Case
Protect your specs
One of my most popular items. These cases protect your glasses from day to day knocks and scrapes, and bring a bit of pizazz to an otherwise mundane object.
The standard size has been tried against a wide range of glasses for a snug fit. If yours are larger or more flamboyant than most, send me the measurements when you get in touch. Every case comes with a free cleaning cloth.
Placemats & Coasters
A talking point at dinner
Cushioned enough to protect a table from the heat of a plate or cup, and spills wipe straight off with a damp cloth.
Each placemat takes more than 80 crisp packets and is big enough for a full dinner plate. The coasters take 6 and fit most cups and mugs. Colours and patterns can be adjusted to suit you.
