PLARN Crocheted Bag

I taught myself how to crochet this past year using some videos posted by mikeysmail on YouTube. Amazing instructor. I have learned SOOOO much.

Now I am fascinated with crocheting things to re-purpose them. This bag was made from PLARN (plastic yarn) - made from those pesky little grocery plastic bags. There are tons of internet resources for "how to make plarn" - just look it up on YouTube!

This is my first (and only - so far) bag made from plarn. And this is my daughter modelling it for us.

Wreath for cards

My daughter's teacher had posted a very glamorous picture of this craft executed in a more shabby chic motif.... whereas I went for a more "this is what I have in my basement" motif... haha.

I picked up the embroidery hoop at Goodwill for only about $2 and the bag of clothespins was nominally priced too.

The center clothespin I covered with a gold ribbon and use that to display our current card.
