Oh my crochet skills are weak!
is complete! Towards the end of the project I was literally scrounging around the house looking for two more plastic bags! Something I was swimming in when I started.
If you are looking to upcycle a huge stash of bags in a somewhat useful way, this is a great project. All you need is:
- A bunch of plastic “t-shirt” bags
- Scissors (or cut with a straightedge and a rotary cutter, like I did)
- A large crochet needle
- Patience
You can find the basic directions for turning bags into “yarn” here. Here are a few project patterns. I kind of winged it.
My crochet skills were somewhat lacking when I started; aside from the scrubbies I made the other day I hadn’t crocheted in years. Nonetheless, I think it turned out ok. I would like to make another, so I’m putting out a call for plastic bags!
Egyptian Grocery Bags
While I was hunting down bags, I found these two from my trip to Egypt. I held them out because I really want to keep the printing on them. Maybe these are good for a fused project?
