Doing my part

OK, so recycling has become something a lot of people are doing, so I decided to make some reusable grocery bags from... wait for it... plastic grocery bags! I found a blog via stumble upon, and decided to give it a shot. I will update as I progress.

1. Take the plastic bag and flatten it out.
















2. Fold it in half (handle to handle)














3. Again












4. And again, then cut off the bottom of the bag and the handles.














5. Fold it once more

















6. Cut the bag into 1 inch sections. This will give you bands of plastic.





















7. If you remember making rubber band chains as a child, you use the same method to link the plastic bands together. Make sure it;s a tight knot, without stretching and breaking the bands.


















8. Ball it up just like you would yarn, and begin your project.

















I will post pictures of my projects as I finish.
