  Step 1

  Smooth out a plastic grocery bag on the floor. Cut off the handles and the seam at the bottom. Fold the bag up almost all the way, like this.

• 

  Step 2

  Cut off the messy ends. Now make cuts through the folded part, about one inch apart.

• 

  Step 3

  Now put your non-dominant hand and arm through the bag. Open it up.

• 

  Step 4

  Cut from the middle of the top to the first cut on the left. A long piece of plarn should fall.

  Now cut from the first cut on the right to the second cut on the left. Keep going.

• 

  Step 5

  Plarn!

• 

  Step 6

  Roll it up, just like you would yarn.

• 

  Step 7

  Crochet a circle, When it gets as big as you want it to, stop increasing. Make the bag as big as you want.

• 

  Step 8

  Make a strap. I used two strands because the strap will stretch out. I also used a half-single crochet stitch for the strap. I have made a few of these, and the straps do stretch.

• 

  Step 9

  I made a flap by crocheting a half circle. Start a circle, but go back and forth instead of around. Don't go all the way around.

  I attached the strap and the flap with a half-single crochet.

• 

  Step 10

  I put the kind of Velcro that has a strong adhesive on the back on it to close the flap. They sell it in the hardware part of grocery stores.

  Yeah! A new bag! Made of garbage!
