Leslie over at at My Country Home is the host for Whatch Working on Wednesday. I participate now and then when I have something I am working on.
Here is what I am up to these days.
I have been working on a project recently using PLARN. I have posted about this in my recent posts, but here is a recap. Plarn is plastic bag yarn. I got the idea from Suzie Button Creations when she did her one of her Weekly Side Dish posts. The instructions for the bag I got from myrecycledbags.com. The instructions for making the plarn is there too.
So my projected started with bags like this one.
Here it is as plarn.
Here is Helmi holding a ball of plarn that is almost too big for her. I had patients at work help me make this plarn. Did it as an activity during my treatment sessions with them.



Silly Helmi!
Here they are showing off the bag so that I can get a picture of it.
You will have to read my previous post of them getting stuck in the bag.
Helmi and Stella are trying to help again.
But their way of helping is getting themselves all tangled up in my stuff.
I never know what those two are going to be up to next.
After seeing me work with patients making plarn, I now have co-workers saving their plastic bags for me. What is cool, is that I am getting different colors that way. They are bringing me bags from stores I don't visit.
Now I need to plan my next PLARN project.
I am sure Helmi and Stella will help me pick one out.

I have seen pictures of these bags, but not how to make them.
Thanks for sharing!

You don't know how many times I have heard of people doing this but never looked it up. Interesting and a great way to recycle :)

very cool! love the helpers!!
I remember doing this back in the 70s. You need to make accessories to go with your bag. And Helmi should have a little matching one of her own.
My mom is going to learn how to make these - she's excited to see how it is done! I sent her this posting link so she can view your bag.
