Platic grocery bag purse

Just finished. Hand woven from plastic grocery bags. Shoulder strap finger woven recyled cotton rag in plaid. Denim flower detail with vintage button. Velcro closure and inner pocket.

 

About ten years ago I cut plastic grocery bags into long strips, tied them together, and crocheted a grocery bag-sized grocery bag out of them. It was really strong and it worked great. I think my mother-in-law threw it out. I should make another one.

 

i made a crocheted plastic bag for an environmental issues assignment. it wasnt quite as nice as yours though.

 

looks neat. Maybe your next project should be a grocery bag shirt. j/k : )

 

wow that looks awesome!

 

Thats awsome!!! share the directions!!!!

 

Thanks.Cut bags into strips, make chain weave on floor loom and hand sew. The loom is the key here.

 

Ah! I was wondering how you got it so tight. What sort of loom do you use?

 

looks great! i crocheted a bag out of plastic grocery bags.......didn't turn out nearly as well. yours rocks!!!
