FABULOUS FREE FRIDAYS

Welcome again to fabulous free Friday

Today I have a freebie for ALL of you.

I KNOW, right?

Anywho, raise your hand if you save plastic bags 

Hmm maybe a few of you

Raise your hand if you need to make

A sturdy grocery tote that is lightweight 

And waterproof but carries a heavy load.

YOU TOO CAN GET ONE

FOR ONLY 3 payments of 19.99........

JUST

KIDDING

no silly not about the bag. About the payments.

Do you knit? Crochet? Braid?

then listen up.

Start with plastic bags

LOTS

just think how many you save from our waterways 

Fold them flat with the side pleats tucked in

Then take your old beautiful scissors that SOMEONE cut paper and stuff with 

WE WONT MENTION ANY NAMES

.....

and cut strips ABOUT 1.5 to 2 inches wide

No need to be precise

It will make loops of plastic bag

See the bottom that was sealed and the top handles,? Throw those away

Now you have plastic loops

Heres the fun part

Trash bags and shopping bags can come in cool colors too.....to make a pattern

I KNOW.....RIGHT?

YOU place one loop into another and pull it to attach

Loop intertwined

Pull gingerly

Voila. Plastic yarn ready to wind and use.

Like this.makes a small knotlike and a loop

Then scrunch it together as if the loop was one single strand and make a "plarn" ball

Plarn = plastic yarn

Then Knit, crochet or use whatever method you would use with yarn and make a bag using HUGE  needles

Easy

Peasy

And the best part is 

You can get the person who ruined your most favorite scissors in the world to do this for you.

A punishment if you will

They will have so much fun doing it they won't even know it is punishment. 

Really!

No bags? No problem

Make new friends in the neighborhood

People are always looking to recycle them

And you can take them off their hands

OR

you COULD  go shopping.......

Just sayin......
