Do you revel in crocheting? Are you a frugal crafter? If so, I have a superb frugal craft undertaking for you these days that might not cost you a cent! This specific craft mission is made from plain! Not sure what the plan is? Well, I am going to tell you about it.

The plan is the slang term given to ‘yarn’ made from plastic grocery bags…, which grocery and retail stores use to p.C—your purchases in. Instead of throwing them away and junking up our landfills, you may flip the one’s plastic luggage into a plane.

To do the following projects, you may want a size H crochet hook (for the beach mat), a length G crochet hook (for the tote bag), and eight to ten plastic shopping bags.

How To Make The Plan: You must apply clear plastic bags. Cut off the handles and flatten the bag flat. Cut off the seaming at the bottom. Now…Cutting through each layer of the bag reduces the strips, which can be half” huge. Once you have your strips, you may need to loop them collectively to shape a continuous long strand. Once it’s far lengthy enough, roll right into a ball. You can find YouTube videos and tutorial websites online to train you on making a plan if you want a visual demonstration.

To Make The Beach Mat:

You will want to chain forty-four stitches, with a single crochet inside the second chain from the hook and in every chain across. Chain 1, turn, and unmarried crochet in every stitch throughout. You will maintain this pattern until you’ve got 11 rows. Fasten off and weave to your ends.

To Make The Tote Bag:

This tote bag is made by crocheting five square blocks and then slant-stitching all the rectangles together to make the tote bag. I made the tote bag larger than a handbag because I desired it to preserve the fashion doll’s plastic suntan lotion bottle, her towel, hat, sunglasses, and many others. You know…All of those little fun add-ons that the one’s dolls come with.

You will want to make two long aspect panels:

Chain 8, single crochet in the 2nd chain from the hook and in every chain throughout. Chain 1 and turn, single crochet in each stitch across chain 1, and flip. Repeat until four rows, fasten off, and weave in ends.

You will want to make two short aspect panels:

Chain 5, unmarried crochet in the second chain from the hook and every chain throughout. Chain 1, turn, unmarried crochet in every stitch across, chain 1, and turn. Repeat until four rows, fasten off, and weave in ends.

You will want to make one bottom panel:

Chain 8, unmarried crochet in 2nd chain from hook, unmarried crochet in each chain across, Chain 1, flip, single crochet in each stitch across, chain 1, turn. Repeat until you’ve got two rows.
