Recycling Plastic Grocery Bags

**Persimmon Lace** · 01-15-2009, 12:02 AM

I was wondering today if I could loom with the plastic strips or if they are sturdy enough. I am going to try looming the t-shirt yarn. What odd things we all seem to think about

im baker, i really liked that site you posted
now i have been collecting bags of different colors too,
esp since i figured out an alternative method
rather than cutting & knotting
the 'plastics artist' & her creative grandma give a tutorial
on fusing (melting) plastic bags together to create a whole new
fabric...which she then makes something useful from
i am seeing plastic bags in a whole new way!!

thanks for the ideas & links everyone!
