Using 60+ recycled plastic shopping bags, I crocheted this funky tote bag. It has a wonderful "feel good" vibe to it. I love taking it to the shop, the beach, anywhere and get a compliment on my colourful creation every time!
Check www.myrecycledbags.com - stacks of awesome bag patterns! I started the base of my bag following this pattern and customised the rest.
My little blue assistant kept an eye on the project from start to finish :)
Madeleine! These are wonderful and such a great upcycle project. Thank you for entering the Made It Challenge, so great to have you join in
ReplyDeleteThank you Maryanne! The bag is super handy, strong and funky. There are lots of cool items one can make from plastic yarn - I'm already collecting bags for my next recycling project :)
DeleteI love all the different colours that have come together in this, it looks lovely! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kayleigh! I sorted the plastic bags I had into colour groups and worked random strips. The colours came out nice and bold because I used double strands of plastic yarn - much harder to work with but super strong. The idea is to recycle used bags in stead of buy new ones to get certain colours!
