This week I'm going to show you how to make plarn.
For those who don't know plarn is plastic yarn made out of plastic grocery bags.
Enjoy!

Collect your bags
Flatten your bag
Cut off the handles and the bottom of the bag and set aside
Fold the bag in half
Fold the bag in half again
And one more time
Cut the strip in one inch intervals. Like so
If you did it right you should unfold the strips and they should make loops. If they don't just tie them so they do.
Now take two strips
and pull one through the other
Cross one end over the other like so
Take one end and pull it off your finger and it should look like this.
Pull that tight and make what I believe is called a slip knot.
Repeat this with the rest of the strips and anymore you make with other bags
Now take two of the handles fold and flatten them so they look like the pic
Cut them in half and unfold
Now take the bottom of the bag
Tie the handle pieces and the bottom of the bag together and connect that to the other plarn and it make the plarn longer!
Roll the plarn into a ball if it gets too long and...
Use the plarn to make whatever you want!
I made this for a Nintendo DS lite
This is for a kindle. The S in the middles is a crochet strip I strung through the bag to make it more personalized.
This is a mini recycle bin to bring recyclables to the recycle bin. it has handles on the top to carry it. It's a little used so that's why it looks smushed ;)
