Have you tried creating yarn from plastic bags to use for crochet or knitting?
Step 1: take one plastic bag
Step 2: cut off the handles
Step 3: cut open the bottom closed end
Step 4: cut into strips
Step 5: loop each strip together
Step 6: you should now have a long continuous piece of “plarn” plastic yarn
Step 7: start creating!!!
If you'd like to plan a sustainable Craft workshop for your place of work, group of friends or your venue or club please get in touch via theauntyshan.com to discuss your own bespoke workshop.
