Absolutely Amazing! I was actually involved in a similar project in India- The Plastic Project. We crocheted waste plastic bags and made all kinds of cool things. I made the purse I use everyday! Spread this wonderful idea!!!

I’ve been researching plarn projects and instructions for about a week, ever since I got a Christmas “wish list” from a homeless teen. Her list includes “knitting supplies”. I’m providing her with some yarn, needles, etc. but I thought about what happens when she runs out of yarn. She won’t have any money to buy more. So I’ve been searching for plarn patterns and I’m not finding many that are in PDF format so I can print them for her. I’ve been able to download one basic page on making plarn and two patterns for tote bags and that’s about it. I’m a serial entrepreneur so of course I see this as a business opportunity for her or at least the ability to make gifts at absolutely no cost. Any suggestions?

Hi Amy.

If you want to crochet thicker bags, just cut them into thinner strips. They work just as well.
But if you want to actually use recycled bags…you could do a call out on craigslist for colored plastic bags. I’ve found that when you start doing art with recycled materials, many people will very willingly offer up their leftover bags. If your local grocery store has a collection bin for recycling plastic bags, you can also sift through it to find colored ones. NY Times comes in pretty blue bags.

I have been crocheting plastic into bags for at least 20 years, but the colors that I have a lot of excess to are white, clear, and brown. I may be able to get other colors, if the store is changes their colored bags or I could buy them. I would like to know how you can crochet thicker plastic bags (ie Hefty or Glad trash bags). Please help me!
