Recycling madness

In my last post, I wrote about things just "accruing" around the house. Well I found myself with a little time...not really, actually I made time and I worked on a project I've been meaning to start.

I'm sure everyone has a little (or, as in may case, big) stash of plastic bags lying around the house. We just magically accrue them even though I do take my own fabric bags to put groceries in. You just get these bags everywhere! Well I know I could use these as trash bags, but I don't like the thought of these ending up in our landfills. I wanted a more creative way to use them up.

So I searched on the internet and found so many creative ways to use plastic bags. Yes, you read right... plastic bags. Thanks here to all those creative resourceful folks who put this information on the internet, I can't take credit for it.

Sis, I know you're speechless...me complaining about not having enough time on my hands, and doing something like this, hee hee. But sometimes you gotta make time for stuff like this.

Here is the picturesque run down of my project:

These are the type of plastic bags I started with

make "plarn" (plenty of youtube videos to show you how).

All you need are plastic bags, scissors and a big crocheting needle.

finished "fruit basket"


What do you think? I think it's pretty cute.

Have a great weekend everyone......and be creative!
