  Step 1

  Get a plastic bag. That's ALLLLLLL you need, easy already, huh?

• 

  Step 2

  Cut 3 strips out of the bag. It's okay if they're not even, mine never are. Haha, mine are... I can't even explain.

• 

  Step 3

  Tie at the top, and get something to hold it down while you braid.

• 

  Step 4

  Braid until you have a nice length, and have a little left over that's enough to tie it off.

  Make sure to tie it off well so it doesn't come apart.

• 

  Step 5

  Tie it around your wrist, and...

  WAH-LA! Now you have an adorable, recycled bracelet. ( I have 3 on in the picture, they're not long enough to wrap around more than once)

I live in UK and we often get charity collection bags, which are as large as bin liners/black sacks. If we don't have anything to donate and the charity doesn't ask for the bags back, they would normally be thrown away. I've just made a huge lot of plarn from a lovely bright blue plastic sack!

Neat idea! Adding some recycled paper beads would be cool with this
