plastic shopping bags crocheted into more stylish, reusable bags. the first step was to lay the bag out flat and cut off the bottom edge. then, cutting through only 1 lay of the bag, cut a 1 inch stip continuously using the whole bag until you get to the handles. keep making these strips and tie them all together with a simple square knot. then start crocheting! use different size hooks and stitches. use all bags from the same store or from all different stores to get different looks. i used size k hook and a triple crochet. bag 1: big y tote bag 2: various tote bag 3: walmart tote with oceanstate job lot trim bag 4: stop & shop clutch bag 5: stop & shop tote bag 6: dollar tree tote
