Maker Faire Austin 2008
Grocery Bag Handbags

Help keep plastic grocery bags out of landfills by turning them into "plarn" (plastic yarn). From there you can knit or crochet them into fun everyday handbags. These purses are knit entirely from plastic grocery bags meaning they're still 100% recyclable!
