Craft-orial: Making Plarn

Plastic bag yarn is not only easy to make, is very economical way to use up the tons of plastic bags you get when visiting the grocery store. Below is my tutorial on how to create the yarn. Above is a photo of the yarn in an afghan stitch. Enjoy!

Step one, lay your plastic bag flat. Push in the pleats on the side and wipe your hand over the bag a few times to smooth it out. Next you will slice the bag horizontally

I sliced the bags into roughly 1 inch wide strips. The next few images below illustrate how to do the knot to attach them.

When done, roll your yarn up into a ball! You can create multi-colored yarn or single colored. That's up to you! Have fun
