Making Plarn: version 1
There are a number of ways to get plastic bags cut into what is now being called “plarn” (plastic yarn). One way is describer in picture-perfect detail on My Recycled Bags website. I don’t cut mine up in this manner, but this is just as effective. Each technique gives you a different result in the type of plarn you end up with. Mine is thin and somewhat uneven, whereas this is double ply and very uniform.

I spent hours cutting up plastic bags and tying the ends together to make a big ole ball of plarn…. and then I made a mess trying to crochet it into something! LOL My skillz are just not good enough yet to accomplish these cute projects.
