Eco-Friendly Knits: Using Recycled Plastic Bags by Emily Blades

Published 2010

The clutter of plastic bags is revealed as an ample supply of craft materials in this innovative crafting book. Using simple instructions, the guide shows how to create “plarn,” plastic yarn, by cutting strips of plastic from excess bags and then rolling them up to create a ball from which to knit any number of great items. Projects featured in this instructional include a mobile phone cozy, purse, belt, beaded earrings, drink mats, hair bands with bobbles, travel card wallet, heart necklace, disc earrings, brooch, bottle holder, hair clip, and handbag.
