Turn Your Old Plastic Bags Into Yarn

I have already reviewed the website where i got this tip from (it's Instructables, just search it in that handy search box above). But i absolutely had to write a specific review of this diy project that i just saw.

Most of us have a drawer full of plastic bags laying around, even though we now use totes for everything. Sometimes, you forget your tote, sometimes the farmers market people foist bags on you - there are lots of reasons. Anyway, bringing those old bags back to the grocery store means they will just melt them down to make new bags, which releases tons of pollution into the air.

This project is one of the best uses I have ever seen for all those plastic bags, Basically, you cut them all into little strips and tie them together, then use them to crochette just like you would yarn. The difference is that these are unbelievably durable and waterproof because they are made out of plastic bags. Now this is no reason to start picking up plastic bags again, but if you have them lying around, its a great way to reuse them instead of recycling. Remember, recycling is always the second option!
