  • Hello Peanut Galley! My addiction to making rope continues! In this video I will show you how to turn your plastic grocery bags into rope using our handy dandy homemade loom (Kumihimo Japanese Weaving). I think making rope with the grocery bags was the easiest so far. Give it a try! You can watch my playlist to see how I made rope from yarn and t-shirt scraps too. tinyurl.com/ldopyut Enjoy! xoxo

      I don’t know if I’m watching because I’m interested in what you’re making or simply because you’re so adorable!

    Makes good clothesline or crochet or knit it for door mat or tote bags or make ground mats for camping or homeless.

    Embroidery thread in metallic would make adorable shoe laces 😊

    I did the embroidery thread today for an ankle bracelet. It turned out great!

    I get a smile seeing you so excited. I had no idea how you were going to do rope with plastic bags. Going to try to interest my granddaughters in doing this.

    Hi Darleen! I Just did the plastic bag rope loom. I did the loom template out of a plastic plate. I only got to do one plastic bag, Lol the loom template broke just as i finished. The end result is ok! 😊 Its 1:50am here in Sydney Australia. I thought I try it since i cannot sleep. Thank You for your inspiration. ❤😊👍

    Have you try the lanyard plastic string ??

    @mistarygrl1 Před 6 lety

    I know this was made a year ago, just hope you see my comment. The first bag you started off with, my husband used to work for that company “Shur Fine” before it became Topco I believe. So cool that just saw that company logo. Gotta try this out with the bags that I have.

  • @carolfrazer8067

    You can iron the plastic bags. Just make sure your iron is on medium heat and you have a piece of parchment paper. No knots. Fuse the bags together.

    As much foolin around with rope as we did in Boy Scouts, I've never seen one of these looms. I've helped the wife do a three-strand plarn rope for beach bag handles but the 7 strand rope you just whipped up is certainly stronger and looks neater. Kudos!

    I had to show my daughter's the part where you said a dog leash could be made this way. My teen daughters are always buying turn out lines (no fence yet at our new off grid home). Their dogs are always messing the tie outs up and their $15-20 each! And they don't even use them much as they're house dogs. The tie outs say 125# dog. And they're broke! Lol We have a 55lb Aussie Rott mix. And a 95# St Bernard Mastiff "puppy". Lol I'm going to make some of these and see how strong they are. Maybe we'll experiment. Lol

    You should weave a tote bag from plastic cord!

    Hi Darlene. I'm weaving the plastic bags and sewing the rope into a mat. My problem is the mat seems to be curling up instead of lying flat. I don't have a particular size in mind.....but wow a rug size would be great (and probably not gonna happen!). Would you please tell me what I am doing wrong that the mat won't lie flat? I love these crafty videos. Thank you so much!

    Not this, but do you have any ideas for dryer lint?...Oh, and this is a great recycle project!

    • @sueg8234
      @sueg8234 Před 6 lety

      Put dryer lint in empty egg carton cups and pour melted wax (paraffin or old color crayons) over for firestarters

    Why could'nt you connect tee shirt material the same way???

    • @darlene.michaud
      @darlene.michaud  Před 7 lety +1

      I sort of did. You don't want an entire loop of t-shirt fabric as it might be too bulky for the loom. But might work for a bigger loom. With single strand, you cut a slit on each end of the fabric to create the loop you need to pass the fabric through and that's what I did with the t-shirt fabric.

    Darlene I just started watching like a month ago and since this is my first comment I have to say "hi!" I'm loving your stuff! Me and my girls used this to make jump ropes! We used 2 in wide strips. Keep the cool stuff coming!

      I record what I feel like recording. If you don't like it, move on and try another channel. I'm not here just for people who want to make things.

    • @darlene.michaud
      @darlene.michaud  Před 5 lety +2

      And I did show you how to make a cord. That's something, isn't it?
