When I was in Perth, I went to King's Park with my friend Amy and taught her how to crochet with plastic bags.
She also got really into fusing plastic bags and I went to her house to see a big stack of sheets she was making. Really impressive - and beautiful! They look like lace.
After I left, Amy and some of my other friends decided to throw a recycled plastic cocktail party. Everyone showed up to the party wearing a clothing item they made from recycled plastic.
Check out their lovely outfits. All from plastic!
I'm sad I missed the party. But I'm happy I was able to spread the love of making things with plastic bags.

An innovative way to recycle through crochet.
About Me
I'm Cristen and I like to crochet.
I recently started crocheting items from plastic bags. I hope that community pressure worldwide will encourage companies and consumers to be more responsible with their plastic bag consumption. Eventually maybe there won't be any more bags for me to use for crochet projects, but for now, I recycle bags by crocheting them. This blog is a place for me to display my work. Eventually I plan to create a site that includes tutorials, patterns, and info on workshops and projects. Please check back as I post updates on my progress. And if you have any suggestions, feel free to write me.
