    I used shredded plastic bags to crochet this: [​IMG]




    There's a bit of yarn in there too to make it a bit more sturdy... but it turned out to be a good shopping bag ;)

    a pain in the butt though to spend all that time shredding plastic bags...

    My plastic bag you mean?

    The bag itself is crocheted, and about 16 inches wide... I started with a row of single crochet, and then did a row of double crochet along each side, and then double crochet around each row to make the height of the bag...

    I had shredded plastic bags into 1 inch strips and I used ~ I think ~ an 8mm crochet hook... if that helps.... I'm sure there are free instructions for this somewhere online...

    you have access to some pretty colored bags! I'm jealous. It's a beautiful bag. I'm working on one with almost all boring white bags and I think the extra strain of working the plastic is giving me carpal tunnel.
