The designs are simple. There is a donation address. Local schools are great to raise awareness. Maybe arrange a drop off for crisp packets. You can send them to the project.
This is a wonderful idea that’s easy to do and, stop this plastic going into landfill for just a little longer. I’ve shared this with some people in Texas who may be able to make these during the current crisis.
This is amazing my family eat lots of walkers crisp and I’m always thinking out ways to upcycle waste. I would love to give this a try, but just wondering what’s the plastic you use to finish the blanket with.
Ive made one design you can put cardbaord into one envelope and sleep in the other. Ideal for roughsleepers. I have a cape wrap for general warmth. And in make and give out gym satchels and square box bags for shopping to raise awareness to the project.
Dear Pen, Great job, lady!!! I'm into recycling myself and have a huge surplus of empty packs of crisps. I wondered if this can be of any use to you. Let me how I can contact you or if you can come to our office for collection. Regards. G
@@jenniferklein9191 I think it might be a thin layer of aluminium or something, but it doesn't matter, you just iron it as any plastic bag, and then iron a thin plastic on the metallic side.
Do you need mor bags? I've got a bunch I havent thrown out cuz I dont want them in the land fill.figured they could be used for something just not sure what
What a wonderful idea Pen and fantastic work. Someone else showing up this heartless Tory government with their failures against the poor and homeless, she's a hero saving lives. Bravo.
My daughters class has been asked to collect crisp packets for them to be made into blankets. I’m not sure if it’s for this lady. We’ve asked friends and family aswell to help. So we’re hoping we end up with a lot of crisp packets 😂 it’s a fab idea x

A BRILLIANT JOB ! RESPECT TO YU. MAY I SURGGEST TO SEND A LETTER TO HTE PM 10 DOWNING STREET LONDON TO ASK IF HE WOULD AS HTE MINISTORY OF DEFENCE TO ASK HTE NAVY/RAF/ARMY TO COLLECT HTERE CRISP PACKS FOR YU & SEND YU HTEM EACH MONHT . I AM A VETERAN WIHT A MOBILITY SCOOTER & I HAND OUT HTE FOIL BLANKETS
@@stevenbate8069 yeah... layer two packets, place baking paper over, n iron over it for a few seconds... or iv seen ppl use duct tape... maybe u can glue two but there the only two ways I know
So crazy here I am thinking I'm alone thinking about doing this ! And my family going why is she saving the trash ... Lol they don't open them nicely tho so it's hard
Hello, I have the same idea too. Can you please give us her name or how to contact us. I would like to know how to make this so I can start this kind of project in our community too.
Perhaps I am not using enough heat from iron or the plastic from coffee bags is not same? I work the breakfast at a hotel and collected the pre-measured bags, cut them open and when I remove iron and parchment paper...no fusing has occurred and the plastic begins to roll up.
G-D BLESS YOU! I'VE BEEN HOMELESS FOUR TIMES AND AM A MEMBER OF THE BRITISH MONARCHY. I'M A BRITISH ROYAL JEWISH PRINCESS , I'M AN HRH PRINCESS RACHEL, BUT I DON'T STAND ON HEIRS AND GRACES. I DON'T EXPECT PEOPLE TO ACKNOWLEDGE MY TITLE , BUT IT IS A VOICE FOR THOSE THAT ARE BEING IGNORED AND ARE EITHER DISABLED OR HOMELESS OR BOTH , INCLUDING JEWISH AND OTHER RACES BEING ABUSED WHERE I LIVE. I WAS BORN WITH MODERATE-SEVERE CEREBRAL PALSY WITH SCOLIOSIS,HIP DYSPLASIA, FUSED RIBCAGE AMONG OTHER CONGENITAL DEFECTS AND ANOMALIES. I APPLAUD YOU, AS MY HUSBAND GOT STUCK ON THE STREETS AND I GOT THRUSTED INTO CARE. IT WAS HARD FOR ME AND IT WAS IN THE BRUSK OF WINTER NOT ONCE, BUT TWICE. KEEPING CLOSE TO ME. I COULD HAVE LOST HIM ON THE STREETS . IN 2011-12 THAT WAS WHEN MY HUSBAND LOOKED LIKE HE WAS GOING TO BE TAKEN FROM ME. HE ENDED UP IN HOSPITAL WITH TRENCHFOOT AND FROSTBITE . THANKFULLY, HIS FEET WERE SAVED. HOWEVER, YOUR QUILTS USING CRISP PACKETS IS SIMPLY WONDERFUL AND SAVES HOMELESS PEOPLE FROM LOSING LIMBS, BECAUSE OF THE COLD AND DAMP ENTERING THEIR COVERING. I THINK IT'S WONDERFUL THE SLEEPING BAGS. PILLOWS WOULD BE GREAT ,AS HARD I FIND SOMEWHERE TO LAY YOUR HEAD. AS I HAVE HIP DYSPLASIA , MY RIGHT SHOULDER KINKS UP AND MANY HOMELESS DO HAVE CEREBRAL PALSY AND OTHER CONDITIONS. IT YEARS ME INSIDE OUT THAT I CAN'T DO MORE FOR THE HOMELESS IN MY CITY. MY HUSBAND AND I MADE HOMELESS, BECAUSE MY NEIGHBOUR HATED ME BEING JEWISH AND MY EGYPTIAN CURLY HAIR. YES, MY ANCESTOR'S WERE BLACK AND BEING RELATED TO HER MAJESTY, WHOSE GREAT-GREAT GRANDMOTHER WAS BLACK THAT I LOOK A BIT LIKE HER. ANYWAY, I KNOW WHAT RACIAL HATRED IS LIKE VERY WELL. NEIGHBOUR CONCOCTED STORIES WITH HER FAMILY , DENYING BEING RELATED JUST TO GET US EVICTED ,BECAUSE I'M A 100% JEWISH. YET, WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO THEM. THE STRESS FROM THE ABUSE CAUSED TEMPORARY BLINDNESS BY SPLITTING HIS RETINA AND ALMOST DID THE SAME TO OTHER EYE. I WAS VERY UNWELL . I HAD A COURSE OF CHEMO AND VIOLENTLY ILL. SO, I UNDERSTAND HOMELESSNESS ON MANY LEVELS. WOMEN AND CHILDREN GET HELP, BEFORE THEIR SPOUSE'S AND HAVE TO FIGHT TO BE REHOUSED TOGETHER. SO, I REALLY APPRECIATE WHAT YOU DO AND STILL FIGHTING TO BE REHOUSED WITH MY HUSBAND, ONCE WE GET THE WORD THAT WE HAVE SOMEWHERE. WHEN REHOUSED , WE WILL SAVE CRISP PACKETS AND SEND THEM TO YOU. WE HAVE TO BE HOUSED BUT WILL LET THE CARE HOME KNOW TO SAVE CRISP PACKETS STARTING TOMORROW. THANK YOU!!!
I understand your "trying" to help... Im sorry... But you want to mail trash, to be melted into plastic, that will be immidatley thrown away by any unfortunate recipient... Give someone a real blanket if you want to help. Stop virtue signalling. Mailing your plastic garbage isnt "it"
That was so helpful and you did so you could help homeless people I am a follower for nice now this is my grandma, Carolyn Scott and she’s like well. Let’s check the score out and let’s just make my heart glue back together because I have a broken for 10 days because of some things I’ve been through but that just fix it, well I’m eight years old but my name is dominika lemley and I’m inspired how are you? Just did that my name is dumb. Killingly shoot out for me.
I really want to make something like this now. I bet you could keep layering them and make one helluva tent if you wanted.
She's an inspiration we need more like this...I'd love to help some way???
The designs are simple. There is a donation address.
Local schools are great to raise awareness. Maybe arrange a drop off for crisp packets.
You can send them to the project.
She is an icon and should be very proud of herself for helping so many.
This is something that seems good on the surface but doesn't hold up to the most basic scrutiny.
A truly wonderful and inspiring project. Loud applause for Pen and her team. so simple and yet so invaluable. Determined to help
This is a wonderful idea that’s easy to do and, stop this plastic going into landfill for just a little longer. I’ve shared this with some people in Texas who may be able to make these during the current crisis.
This is sad that we still have lots of homeless people in UK and USA, but her industriousness is commendable!!
This is amazing my family eat lots of walkers crisp and I’m always thinking out ways to upcycle waste. I would love to give this a try, but just wondering what’s the plastic you use to finish the blanket with.
I would like to know as well, please
This is brilliant I used to live in Hastings many years back.
I've been doing this, you could use those 'blankets' as cover from crops, like an agricultural plastic coverings.
This wonderful! Everyone needs to know about this
She’s such a lovely person. Just having the thought and initiative to make and distribute something like that is cool as fuck.
Ive made one design you can put cardbaord into one envelope and sleep in the other.
Ideal for roughsleepers.
I have a cape wrap for general warmth.
And in make and give out gym satchels and square box bags for shopping to raise awareness to the project.
God bless you for what you do
🙌🏻 May your Blessings be many! 🤗
She deserves 🏅👑 Honor!
Millions of these ❤
Brilliant idea
3:15 Big hug amazing ❣️!
We need this here in the usa.
She has a great laugh!
Bless you
How thick is the plastic sheeting and do you put it on both sides?
Tysvm❤
What a wonderful kind woman
I am wanting to do this what type of plastic is used to cover it?
Dear Pen,
Great job, lady!!!
I'm into recycling myself and have a huge surplus of empty packs of crisps. I wondered if this can be of any use to you. Let me how I can contact you or if you can come to our office for collection. Regards. G
Wonderful woman ❤
I’d love to know how to make them :) how do you glu the plastic on the chip bags?? Many people in need here as well! Take care everyone.
I think she ironed it :)
Yes wondering what the metalic layer is
@@jenniferklein9191 its the inside of the crisp packet.
@@jenniferklein9191 I think it might be a thin layer of aluminium or something, but it doesn't matter, you just iron it as any plastic bag, and then iron a thin plastic on the metallic side.
this I call recycling and saves lifes.
Hi I have a collection of dish washered washed crisp bags are you still needing them ?
how big is one bag
Where do we send crisp packets to?
Do you need mor bags? I've got a bunch I havent thrown out cuz I dont want them in the land fill.figured they could be used for something just not sure what
This is an awesome idea, would you be so kind to share how you make them step by step so we can repeat the idea. Please
In Austria crisp packets are recycled anyway ♻️. Why not everywhere? 😢
Genius! Trash to treasure. Wow 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 A bivvy sack!
Hi do u need the plastic on it
What a wonderful idea Pen and fantastic work. Someone else showing up this heartless Tory government with their failures against the poor and homeless, she's a hero saving lives. Bravo.

Just a thought but have you thought of making coats out of the packets, so they can be worn all day and night…👍👍👍👍
How do you glue them together? What glue do you use ?
They r ironed together
@@liverbirdxoxo1984 What like just iron them and they stick together with no glue ??
@@stevenbate8069 yeah... layer two packets, place baking paper over, n iron over it for a few seconds... or iv seen ppl use duct tape... maybe u can glue two but there the only two ways I know
Heat sealed using an iron and baking paper
So crazy here I am thinking I'm alone thinking about doing this ! And my family going why is she saving the trash ... Lol they don't open them nicely tho so it's hard
Woooow how creative some people are thanks
Nothing is wasted
"mum why does my blanket smell like cheese and onion?"
😅 That's why it's suggested to wash the bags first..!
Because you're homeless
Hello, I have the same idea too. Can you please give us her name or how to contact us. I would like to know how to make this so I can start this kind of project in our community too.
What type of plastic did you use?
L
There is so much air in a unopened bag that they could be used as a pillow
Hi where do you get the roll of plastic thanks
Back broken knees wrecked doctor says I’ll never work again but hey somebody gets too smell like wotsits for a couple of days real nice 😂
She keeps saying biffy bag - she means bivvy bag as per the video decription - biffy bags seem to be some kind of disposable toilet....
Brilliant. Well done

@@Yaateeh1000 stop virtue signalling and go sleep in a melted trash blanket then. How cozy and humanizing.
What is this ladys name? How do we contact her ?
How do you put them together
Great idea
So beautiful

Not degrading at all to sleep with a planket made out of crisp packets.
WOW 😄
May sound dumb but what is a crisp packet?
Is the plastic recycled? that bit that came off a roll?
