Thursday evening via Zoom. March 4, 6-8pm.All those heaps of plastic bags that you can’t recyclejust got a new purpose. Yarn made from plastic bagsmakes a very sturdy, easy-care, washable, durable, anduseful rug!
To help put a stop to the tremendous amount of plasticgrocery bags from entering landfills, this re-purposedand #ReFab project is just what the planet ordered. It isso satisfying to turn plastic bags into art instead. Also,the materials are free and readily available. You willneed quite a stash of bags for a large rug.
Using basic crochet stitches, we will use a singlecrochet stitch, concentrating on making a rectangularrug that you can continue to add to as you get morebags. The sturdy plarn can also be used to makeplacemats, market bags, and coasters once youunderstand the basic concept.
Materials List:• Plastic grocery-type bags. They should be relatively clean and hole free.• Scissors that you would cut paper with- not your good scissors!• The largest crochet hook you are comfortable using. (I used a Q)
