I just recently discovered these toothbrush rag rugs that you make using a old toothbrush made into a tool. You then use the tool to weave the rags into a rug. It looks similar to crochet or braids. It's a cool method where you don't need to know what to crochet to make these rag rugs. Check out this link which shows how to make the toothbrush tool and also has picture tutorial on how to make the rugs. http://thelibrary.org/lochist/periodicals/bittersweet/sp81g.htm...

If you crochet you can make some crafts using plastic bags as yarn. I just made my dear neighbor a clothes pin bag. You can find the free pattern here > http://www.myrecycledbags.com/2007/ ... /crochet-a-recycled-clothes-pin-bag/ Dishcloths are really fun and quick projects too. I gave one neighbor a dishcloth last year with a jar of jam. I used the dishcloth as a "cover" over the top of the jar and secured it with a ribbon. Anyway that's a few ideas and I have many free patterns for other projects if you want to check out my blog site. Good luck! ... View related article.
