Crocheting With Plastic Bags

My dad's new wife just showed me how to re-use plastic grocery store bags. She folds them into four length wise then cuts the bottom off. Working your way up, you cut about one inch strips until you get to the handles (the bottom and handles are waste). Continue this with many bags and then you will tie the strips together by putting one strip into the other and grabbing and pulling the top through that loop.

Once you make a long strip, you use a G or bigger crochet hook and chain as many as you want together and crochet as you would with yarn. You can add beads... whatever you want for some snazz!
