This is THE BEST way EVER to be able to tie these loops together to form a ball of plarn. I have never seen any method that can compare. Thank you!!!
I love your technique. I saw a lady on another channel where she twisted the plain to make it stronger and it looked like wicker to make it into a basket. That might be a better way to make sure it doesn’t stretch.
Great tutorial! I never thought of incorporating yarn into my plarn bags. I also love your technique of “tying” the plarn. Thank you!
BY far.... the best plarn tutuorial on making the Plarn
Never thought of using regular yarn with plarn. Wonderful idea.
I love how you loop them together! Ingenious!
I discovered plan only recently - What an innovative reduce, reuse, recycle idea - Love it. Asking a friend of mine (whom I've been telling to use less plastic bags than she does, and recycle the ones she does use) to bring them over for me to make plarn - She's gonna be quite surprised when I take the lot from her & put em to good use. Like your tip on using yarn with for a long lasting effect - Thank you M'Dear. Ushta-te!!
This is a awesome idea making yarn out of plastic bags wow thanks for sharing new here
Great idea! Save our planet earth!!!!! Thanks for sharing!
Wow! Seven years further....I Am delightfully flabbergasted and inspired to see your creativity with plastic bags! I just "happened" to come across and see your video while looking for crocheting with twine teachings. How great! I will share this with others. The next time i see plastic bags floating down the street, ponds, lakes, or in the ocean, it will be quite a gathering...! Thank You So Much! Your creations are Fabulous!
You are Amazing! so many items and so much information. Thankyou :)
I thought I found the best, but you are the best . Thank you so much. God bless you.
You are awesome!!! I love this !! I have watched others and thought to myself ..ugh...but yours was so down to earth and simple to learn!! Thanks so much😀
I love making plarn bags. They're great for when your hands are kinda burnt out on just crocheting, because it's also fun to cut up the bags and link the plarn together, it gives ya a break from the crochet. I also really like your technique for linking them, I had been using a more tedious method but now I am going to use this method.
You are the first person I've seen to add yarn to the bags. It puts in color and stability. Very nice! I'm going to try this out. Thanks!
This is great! So glad I found it.
I am just getting into recycling and making useful household/personal items. I've wondered about the stretching factor using the plastic which has stalled my using plarn. Thank you so much for your video. It resolved my issue!
Brilliant tutorial and tips especially re mixing the yarn with the plarn.... thank you so much Val =)
You are wonderful. Thank you. I was working so hard to make the yarn balls.

Loved this video. Harder to get these bags in CA. Now we have the tougher, thicker ones meant to be re-used. People still buy them and toss them out after the first time :( or use them for dog poop. Really miss the light weight ones.
Do u have any videos on how to make the phone holder and water bottle holders
i really like this! thanks for sharing. i will try.
Do you do any videos that teach how to crochet?
I love this idea I'm going to have to start making some bags and water bottle holder phone cases and what kind of crochet needle do u use

Anne Walkden I've tried doing this in the past but like your first bag, they never held their shape and I didn't think to add other yarns into the pattern... Such a great idea! Thanks for the tutorial.
You are most welcome!
oooo awesome! thanks!
Prestretch and ply strands more stable
Very beautiful
برافو عليكي تسلم ايديكي ياقمر
So great
Interesting, I'da thought plarn was less stretchy. Does this mean yarn would be even less stretchy on its own, I mean material like acrylic and cotton
just great
I have a question? How do you put your shoulder straps on your bags.
+Lori Griesheimer To put shoulder straps on my bag, I just create a chain long enough and at the right point in the side of the bag, then I attach the chain after skipping 9 stitches and keep crocheting around. I then repeat that on the other side. After that I continue to crochet around and into the chained stitches for two more rows to make the straps wider.
very nice
Very nice
She seems like she’d be fun
Hi great one idea creative ,thank you and help a nature
love all the ideas but wouldn't the plastic melt or get messed up from something hot? or have you already tested it? just curious ^_^
+Maru Shard 27 I am not sure what you mean by something hot? Maybe you are referring to the coffee cup sleeve? It insulates the cup from burning your hands, but the plastic does not melt or get messed up when on the outside of a coffee cup. I hope that answers your question. Please check out my Etsy shop! www.etsy.com/shop/thefibergeek
+Anne Walkden yes it does thank you ^_^
Love it’s 👍🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
