Don’t throw away your plastic bags! Make plarn instead and create this great market bag. Make one for yourself and another to fill up with a few goodies to take to your local homeless shelter or food bank.

It takes approximately 45 plastic bags to create this bag depending on the width of the strips and thickness of the bag. Four shank-type buttons are also needed.
