Green bags (made in white!)

These are my earth day/recycle project that I've been working on. To make, you cut plastic WalMart/grocery bags into 1 1/2 inch strips horizontally and loop them together to make your yarn. Once I did that, I crocheted them using a half-double crochet with an N hook to make the bag you see. Very simple pattern -- the bag itself works up pretty quickly. The hardest part of this particular crafts is making the "yarn." (cost: $8-10, depending on size)

These are just awesome! Who would have thought to make bags out of plastic bags you get from the store (well obviously someone has since you did it)...

They look great as well!
