Plarn It!

I know that anyone who reads this post
is always  prepared with shopping bags.
I, on the other hand, frequently forget
or end up in a store when I did not
expect to be there.  So, I collect the
plastic bags up, shove them in the
trunk of my car and recycle them
at the stores, when I remember.

I learned of plarn, a yarn made out of
plastic bags, a while back.  I "Googled"
it and found there is more than one
method to making plarn!  I chose
the simplest looking one, first.
The first part of this SLIDE SHOW
shows the method I use, except,
I use scissors and I just "eyeball"
the slanted lines.

My first project, finished
today, was this small
shopping bag.

So, yes, I made shopping bags into
another shopping bag!
It's surprisingly sturdy.
I think I'd like to make a bigger
bag for carrying wet stuff away
from the beach.  We shall see.
