Crocheted Bag Made From Grocery Bags?

I saw a clip on the news about a lady that crocheted carrying bags for groceries etc. from used plastic Safeway bags. Would anyone know how this is done.

Hi, am saving my bags to make one myself.

Try this site:

www.myrecycledbags.com

there are lots of idea's and lots of photos.

Also, if you google "plastic bag yarn"
you can click onto the

goosflesh/plasticbagyarn site.

There are detailed pics on how to fold, cut and join the bags.

Hope this helps

Great idea. I started making a plastic bag rug to use as a doormat years ago, and never finished it because it seemed to take forever. I guess the large M hook makes it a quick project.

Thanks everyone for all the info. I'm saving all my bread bags at present. I'll have a go at crocheting one or two. I also saw instructions for ironing several (under paper). The bottoms were cut off and sides opened out and several ironed to be bonded together by the heat.

A video was made showing community groups doing this activity to make their own bags. Can't remember, but I think it came under the "recycling shopping bags" tag or similar wording.
