Be Keen, Go Green
---Plastic Bag Yarn--- or PBY as i like to call it, can be any many colors. Most common are brown and white. Perfect for making water proof beach bags, outdoor rugs, bathmats, drink cozies, place mats....
Best part is if you are in the middle of crochet and you run out of string you can add it to the end, and not have to worry about securing the stitch.
I have used this in projects such as:
Plastic Bag Stool Upholstery
Soda Tab Swim Top...

First you need to get you plastic bag, whatever color you want, and lay it flat.
Cut off the bottom seem and the handles.
Cut into horizontal strips about an inch thick (depending on desired effect and use) that when opened create circles.
Grab one of your strips (i pinched mine to make it easier to see) and open it to make a loop
Take another strip and pull through. the loop half way.
The first strip should be separating the second strip into two loops.
Loop A & B
Put your hand in loop A and grab loop B
Pull loop B through loop A
Tighten down till i creates a secure knot
REPEAT
once you have your desired length create a ball and you are done.

Yeah, neat and I had posted the same tutorial but deleted before it got posted because it's already on here. But still neat. I have a big ball of plastic ball string that have to do something with now.
