Description

Instructions

  1. Small 12015

    Take a plastic bag and lay it flat on the ground. Make sure you get all the air out.

  2. Small 12016

    Fold bag in half and then in half again.

  3. Small 12017

    Cut off bottom of bag and handles. Cut bag into approximately one inch strips.

  4. Small 12018

    You should have a bunch of strips that look like this.

  5. Small 12019

    This part is kind of hard to explain with a picture, but I'll try... Pull apart all of the little pieces that you cut and overlap two pieces and pull to chain them together.

  6. Small 12020

    You should pull so that you end up with a tight knot.

  7. Small 12021

    After stringing a few bags together you will have a really long string of plastic yarn.

  8. Small 12022

    Roll plastic yarn into a ball and start crocheting! You can treat this just as you would any other yarn.
