-
Take a plastic bag and lay it flat on the ground. Make sure you get all the air out.
-
Fold bag in half and then in half again.
-
Cut off bottom of bag and handles. Cut bag into approximately one inch strips.
-
You should have a bunch of strips that look like this.
-
This part is kind of hard to explain with a picture, but I'll try...
Pull apart all of the little pieces that you cut and overlap two pieces and pull to chain them together. -
You should pull so that you end up with a tight knot.
-
After stringing a few bags together you will have a really long string of plastic yarn.
-
Roll plastic yarn into a ball and start crocheting! You can treat this just as you would any other yarn.

No problem. I was wanting to know how to make it for a long time too. I took a class at the library earlier this week and learned how to do it there.

I've been knitting one for a while but since I always say no to plastic bags in stores, I never have enough to finish my bag. Hehe

It wouldn't be as thick, but I found a tute on making a pillowcase into one long continuous "yarn"... it would work for a plastic bag, too... I should try it and post it as a version. :)
