Recycle shopping bags to Plarn!

Ever seen that interesting stuff called "Plarn" that some crafty people can make? Here is how to make it! You can use it to make re-usable shopping bags, instead of wasting all those plastic bags. An easy way to be green! I love being green. So pull out a whole bunch of those shopping bags, I had a ton. 

Flatten one out completely. 

Then fold it in half. 

Fold it in half again. 

Cut off the handles, and the bottom of the bag. 

Then cut the middle part into one inch thick  strips. 

When you unfold these strips you get loops of plastic. 

Loop two of these loops together. Like this. 

Put the end of one side through the other. (should look like this) 

And pull tight. 

Keep chaining them together, until you end up with this. 

Happy crafting! You can knit or crochet with this.
