Plastic Rainbow Weaving

Today we will make something beautiful out of something discarded-- plastic bags. Gather some of the plastic bags you collected yesterday during your trash pick up or use some you have around the house from shopping trips. Make your bags into plarn by following this tutorial. Watch the two videos below for some inspiration about what to do with your plarn and look through the examples to learn how to knit, crochet or weave. Turn those plastic bags that would have ended up in the landfill or endangering wildlife into something beautiful!
