Looking for ways to use your craft for good? Let’s reuse plastic bags that often end up in landfills and turn them into something fun and functional.
Turning plastic bags into “plarn” (plastic yarn) allows you to knit a totally new, stronger bag that can be as unique as you like. Mix different colored bags together to make a variegated plarn, make stripes, or keep it classic and work all in one color. Get creative and save the planet at the same time!
