Do you know how to make carpets woven plastic bread bags? As a kid, my neighbor got all moms bread bags because she made rugs woven plastic to go on the floor. If the bread bags were sunshine, carpets were yellow, if they were the butternut, the carpets were a blue color. She has their hand-woven. She was very poor, lived in an old house with a large porch and everyone was sitting on the portch. I loved going to her house and sit on the swing. I think its an art that has been lost because nobody believes in making bread bag rugs more. Anyone who has seen this or know how?
When I was a child my grandmother cut into strips and girls for all kinds of things, hats, handbags, etc. I suppose you could twist and braids too.
Plastic bags ... Now, THERE'S AN idea! and easy to do. Here are some sites that I search for you!
