These swish looking numbers will complement any day-time wear with their shiny veneer and practical trim size. Made from strips cut from plastic bags, these bags are not just functional. They help the environment as well!
I have always had a crafty project on the go. Two unfinished tapestries have spanned decades but I will get back to them. I really will!
My latest craze involves the plastic bags that make their way into my home. I read an article in Grass Roots (Issue 185 Feb/Mar 2008) that described making garden hats by knitting strips from plastic bags. When I noticed a small stash of plastic bags accumulating in my cupboard I decided to test out the theory.
What started out as an experiment has become a passion. I enjoy trying out new colour combinations to see how well they work together. Especially gratifying are the positive comments that I receive when I'm out and about with one of my bags.
After receiving several hints about preparing some instructions I have done just that under the "How to" tab. I hope these instructions will be helpful for you, but please comment or provide feedback if you have any questions.
