Craftcycle Crochet

Reduce, Reuse, Craftcycle


2 bags made from plastic bags

Bags we get from the grocery store can be reused by turning them into yarn. The yarn can then be used to make all sorts of projects like the yoga mat bag (pictured left), a wine bottle carrier (picture right), as well as many other things like coasters, soap dishes, outdoor mats, dish scrubbers, outdoor sleeping mats, plant hangers, reusable totes, and more!

Once you learn how to make your own plarn (plastic yarn), you can use any crochet pattern - simply replace the yarn called for with your newly made plarn!

Family and friends will be happy to donate their used grocery bags for your craftcycle projects. This means you save lots of money you might normally spend at the craft store, but still get to enjoy crcoheting to your heart's desire!

The even bigger perk? You are helping repurpose the 100 billion plastic bags that pass through the hands of consumers each day in the U.S.
