To take it one step further, I make “plarn” out of plastic bags and then weave them into re-usable totes, mats, placemats, just about anything on a loom. The fabric woven out of plastic shopping bags is actually surprisingly very nice. check my channel if you need to know how to make plarn and then for a tote project where the handles are woven into the bag so that only the side and bottom need to be sewn.
