I saw a video about ten years ago on crocheting with plarn (plastic bag yarn) and I thought it was such a neat idea. There was just one problem: I didn’t know how to crochet. So, I started hoarding all my plastic bags (even more than I already was) thinking, “Oh, I’ll learn how to crochet one day!” I finally learned to crochet a few weeks ago and now I’m working my way through my massive bag stash. I left the tail ends on and tried to tie them into decorations so I wouldn’t waste any of the plastic.

I am way too excited about my trash bag bag. :)

    I’ve been tempted to try doing this myself, but plastic bags are almost becoming a bit of a rare item here, so my family’s intent on keeping them for more normal plastic bag usage, haha

    I have some irreparable clothes I could totally turn into T-shirt yarn, though!
