Upcycling Plastic Bags: Update!


Crocheting with plastic has been interesting. The first row or two takes longer than yarn, but after some getting used to it's no problem at all. The key is using a large hook (I wouldn't recommend anything smaller than an N) and keeping your stitches loose.

On the bright side, it's turning out much better than I thought it would and I've decided instead of a grocery tote, I would make a little lined purse! The lining (shown on picture) will be made from old curtains and the button is also recycled from a sweater I felted. I have to put some thought into the handles, so stay tuned!
