Description
A wonderful way to reuse those plastic bags that were useful once, but now are trash. You can turn them into yarn, and crochet interesting items. This is an ecological craft project - we upcycle plastic bags and simple jars and give them new life.
If you didn't crochet before, this class may not be the best way to start, because the material is a bit different than regular yarn.
If you have some experience with crochet, This class is excellent for you. All you need to know is how to make the basic stitches: Single Crochet (sc), and Slip Stitch (sl st). I will demonstrate them in the course in case you don't remember how to.
Crochet as a meditation
The projects are very simple and you don't need patterns or to count stitches, so you can crochet and listen to music, watch tv, or meditate.
Two methods
You will learn how to make plarn (yarn from plastic bags) with two methods: The loops method and the "grass skirt" method. You can try both and choose the one you like most.
What we make
We will learn how to crochet a cover for a jar and crochet a bag. You can crochet another item using plastic bags and share it with us.
Please post the images of what you made in the Q&A tab.
