Introduction: Crochet Placemats(reusing Plastic Bags)

About: hmmm, I am originally from Chicago and and currently teaching English in Mexico. I really enjoy teaching and meeting new people. I love learning new things, and since discovering this amazing site I am trying…
Here is a simple way to reuse plastic bags and turn them into something practical and in my opinion pretty too!
It costs nothing (assuming you own a crochet hook and scissors),
You will need:
*Plastic bags
*scissors
*crochet hook

First you need to cut down the plastic bags into "plarn" plastic yarn, so you can work with it.

Then crochet into whatever design you want, I alternate between colors and it creates a color wheel, the ones I use on my table are all different colors, you could just save up the same type/color of bags and make them the same or create "sets".

If you'd like to learn how to make the "plarn" I will be uploading that shortly.
Thanks for stopping by I hope you enjoyed this quick and easy way to reuse plastic bags that we have too many of!
