DIY Tyvek Stuff Sacks Idea

I picked up a couple FedEx envelopes (large and small sizes). They are made from Tyvek, and of course I had the idea to make a stuff sack from them.

I just got them this morning. After getting home I did a quick search and found this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyYuET-UOEk. Of course, it really is hard to have a truly original idea these days. I'm thinking I'll have a go at it with some adhesive or Tyvek tape instead of the needle & floss as in the video.

I just thought I'd share the idea and collect other's thoughts.

brilliant!

Aren't they already stuff sacks?:)

That's one of my favorite sites BTW, but they phoned it in on this one. They could use some tape and make a cooler sack.

If you want to make one to a specific size, a square bottom with a little more sewing...

no, they're bounce bags :)

The admin assistant in our office who opens the mail is on standing orders to save used tyvek envelopes that come in. I've used them to make stuff sacks and I also made a nice set of mitten covers.

I mad a few "organizing bags" out of them. fold the edges over some 550 cord and gorilla tape the channel shut , and you sir are done . Im just about to retire mine after a year. they also work good for collecting snow or water from a creek to boil.

That should be stronger than the one i made out of a paper napkin...
