another way to make the plarn faster is to use a mat & cutter. I stack the folded bags 3 high & 3 across. weigh them down with a cold iron or weight, and use the cutter to cut off the bottoms. then cut across all the bags, making 9 loops per cut. enjoy.

Wow, I never knew it was so easy to make plarn. I had pictured a very tedious method of making the bags into yarn…. I think I might be able to actually do this!. Her site has another cool project with plastic bags, coasters. You melt the bags together to make a thick plastic and you can put pretty designs in between the layers…I love simple-recycled crafts…thanks D*S!
