My Crochet Today- A "Milk Bowl" Recycle Project




First I have to explain how I made this.

I took approximately fifty plastic wrappers I saved up from gallons of milk. I then cut them into thin strips and connected them like a rubber band chain. Then I crocheted them into a bowl. It measures 5 inches tall x 5 inches wide.

I call it the milk bowl, although it really won't hold liquids.

Crochet Tip # 17

Crocheting with Plarn (plastic yarn / upcycled plastic bags)

If when you crochet with plarn and it seems that you're having a hard time getting the hook to slide through easily, just rub your hands with baby powder. The powder will make the crochet hook slide right through. Repeat as needed.

New Deals

I've been busy making some great deals on items in my shop. There's lots of sales and free shipping on select items (U.S.)
I'm trying to make room for new items i'm currently working on. As some of you know, I am always comming out with something different. My newest is working with plarn.
It's such a gret way to recycle!
I just gave my friends daughter one as part of her graduation gift. She as well as other ones at her house couldn't believe how it was made.
To date I've made some bags, a market tote, a basket, now i'm working on a new plarn project. You'll have to wait until it comes out to see what is.
