Plastic bag out of plastic bags :D
I wanted to make something like a knitted bag out of 'plastic bag yarn', but I can't knit... so I came up with this :)

You Will Need
-
Step 1Find some plastic bags! I used 3 for my bag, plus a small one inside.. and my bag is veeery small, so you'll need as much or more.
-
Step 2Cut the bags in strips. They have to be about.. 16 cm long and 2 cm wide. Just see what works best for you.
-
Step 3Knot the ends of a strip together so you get a circle. Then take another strip, and put it through the circle before knotting the ends together. Continue like this until you have the height of your bag. Just like you would do with paper in nursery school! :D
-
Step 4
For the next row, do the same, but this time also put the strip through the circle next to it. . continue until you have twice the desired width of your bag... this might take a while :/
-
Step 5
When you actually do this, you'll see it will get very hard to see the rows, and where you were, it will get very chaotic. So I would really recommend getting a piece of cardboard (like a shoebox, so you have lots of space) and use tacks to pin everything down.
-
Step 6
When your 'fabric' is long enough, just put the strips of the last row through the circles of the first row too, get it? ^^ Same for the bottom, just pull strips through 2 opposing circles and knot them. Make the strap by making a long row of circles. It's not hard, you can figure it out.
-
Step 7If you don't want everything you put in your bag to fall out, get a plastic bag the size of your bag. Cut it so that you have some strips, and tie the strips to your bag. And that's it! you're done! :D
