Poor Man's mesh head

[vodoochild_ar80]

Need is the mother of inventive, i could not buy one so i made it.
I could not find fiberglass windows screen where i live (as most of the diy mesh heads i've seen use), so as replace i came out with the idea of use a bag, see the pic, don't know how translate the name, but im shure you all know.

All you need now is some of those flower stickers that they sold in the seventies and you'll be good to go. Glad it worked for you!

I hated those bags ... hated how they look, how they smell, how they sound ...... now... I'm healed.. I love those bags

I prefer to say they are "vintage" shoping bag instead .

popesky, it would be good that someone else make one of this to have another opinion, so far is still working good, and no signals of stress on it.

if anyone have a diy idea to make the cage i would love to hear it.
