Finished Shopping bag.

1. Cut off handles.
2. Cut off ends.
3. Cut into strips and interlock.
4. Spin into plarn.

So what do you do with 100 shopping bags and way to much time on your hands? Why you make plarn (plastic yarn) and crochet a shopping bag with it. First I cut off the handles then the ends. I used a rotary cutter so much easier then scissors and I can do 10 bags at a time. After cutting them into 1 inch strips I lace them together, and using a drop spindle spin the strips into plarn. I then used an "N" hook and crocheted a shopping bag.
