Knitting with plastic bags
September 11, 2008
Ok maybe a whole be bop ensemble might be rather daunting but there are other things you can knit from plastic bags
Knit a new bag out of old plastic bags
Or some sandals
Or set up a cottage industry weaving plastic rubbish into joyful new “fabric”

HI,
I’ve been weaving tote/book bags out of plastic bags for about five years.
It takes 60-80 plastic bags to make one tote bag.
They are very sturdy, colorful, and people are always surprised that they are made of plastic.
Just another way to reuse that junk for a while longer…
Thanks for all your great links and resources.

I have the forms on Word reply by e-mail and I will send you the information. I’m from Ontario Canada and we crochet the mats and send them to Third World Countries as a sleeping mat. It has been said that sleeping on plastic is reduces parasite infection in children by 60%.
Thanks for the interest.
