Plarn

I first learned about plarn when my mom made a tote bag. It is such a neat way to use plastic bags. Perfect for the beach!

Instructions to make plarn:
Lay recycled bag out flatBag1
Fold in half lengthwise then fold in half againBag2
Cut off top handlesBag3
Cut bag in strips about 1 inch wide or as desiredBag4
Set aside the end of bag where bottom edge was glued. The ends and the handles can be recycled either as stuffing for other projects, packing material for shipping, or taken to your local recycling bin for plastic bags.
Tying strips together
Take two strips and inter-twine together as shown
Bag5
Bag6
Gently pull on ends to knot two strips togetherBag7

Continue connecting strips until you have a large ball of plastic “yarn”bag9.JPG
