Going to Trader Joe's for groceries is one of my husbands tasks. Sometimes the bags are quite heavy and we always use our own bags that I either crocheted or bought. But, we also have so many plastics bags that we didn't throw out from times when we didn't have any of our bags or before we got into the being-green phase.
So then I read up on the Internet how to make a market bag out of recycled plastic bags. Here is the result. It is strong and can fit and hold 5 one-liter bottles of water. I will make another one, that is bigger.
It was difficult to make, only because it is hard to work with plastic "yarn." The process is simple. Take the bags and cut strips. Then join the strips and roll into a ball of "yarn." Finally, find a pattern and use a big crochet hook to create any design.
