~ Preparing Plastic Bags for Crocheting ~

Preparing plastic bags is pretty simple.

Start with a plastic bag.


Fold it in half.


Fold it in half several more times.


Cut the handles off.


Cut the bottom off.


Cut the bag into about one-inch strips.


You should end up with about 10 pieces per bag.


Unfold 2 pieces and loop them together.






Loop all the bag pieces together to form a chain.


Roll the plastic bag chain into a ball.


I typically wait until I have a lot of bags. Then I cut them all up and end up with a crazy mess like this. Then I roll this mess into several large balls.
