Now you will start adding your weft threads (a.k.a. plastic bag strips). Take the end of one plastic bag strip and hook it through the same slot that you hooked your yarn through. Take the other end and weave it through the warp threads. (Over, under, over, under). When you get to the edge, note whether you went over or under last and do the opposite on the other side. When you get to the end of one, tie on another and keep going. This is where it gets tedious, so make sure that you make your "yarn" as you go along so that you'll have something else to do. I reccomend doing this over a period of time, just because it takes so long. It takes hours, I'm not kidding. I have pictures of my bag as I went along below so you can see mine take shape.
