My suggestion is to either make two of the rugs and sew them together with another plastic bag strip -or- make the loom larger and fold it and sew the open ends together. For the strap just braid plastic bag strips together and tie it to the main part.

Hi, When I read this request I was looking forward to reading the replies, but although the replies here are really helpful, none of them answer the original request which was to NOT crochet and to use a cardboard loom so they can be weaved...the directions here are for crocheting. I also was interested in it because of the no-crochet-requirement. Does anyone have any information on the original request as it was requested? I haven't been able to find anything on the internet. Thanks very much

When I was at a family reunion last year I saw one of the bags done using Wal-Mart bags. It was all blue background and had the smiley face logo on the front. Someone out there has that pattern. Maybe they will see this and reply. Good Luck. GG Vi

In response to your needed help with the tote bags... My mother in law has been making those for a decade or more. She takes her grocery bags and flattens them out nicely and then cuts 1 inch slices across the bags to make loops of plastic, which she then hooks all the loops together end to end making a long rope of plastic bag loops, which she then rolls into a ball like you would yarn and from there she simply crochets the bags. She has made an assortment of different totes, bags, and purses. Hope this helps. Happy bagging!
