I crocheted this purse using "plarn" which is made from plastic bags. I found how to do this at www.myrecycledbags.com. There are instructions for alll sorts of crocheted items. She says anything you can crochet, you can crochet using "plarn". There are instructions on how to make the plarn there too.
Maybe I'll do a photo essay on how to make the plarn.
Here's my new shoulder bag. I think it's pretty cool. I hope you do too.
(I have been wandering around the house trying to find my crochet hook. I think I found it. If you look closely, you can see it in the bag.)

You could try making extra money by making these and selling them on Etsy.
Marsha -- I'm so glad I was able to give you an idea for gifts!
Kim - they don't seem to stretch much - they seem to be pretty sturdy
I made a plarn & yarn combo bag
