we have many Crochet Bag Ideas here!

Everyone should be trying to do it in some way. This is especially true of all the we have. One way that is truly fun and creative for recycling is to crochet bags. You know those grocery bags that we usually have so many of as we should not really just throw them away. It is much better for our environment to recycle them. Below is how to prepare the bags for crocheting and some ideas on what to make from them.

One method of preparing the bags so you can crochet bags is the loop one. You have to first lay your bag out flat. This makes it easy to cut the handles and the glued bottom off. While the bag still laying double, you need to fold it over on itself in several times. Then cut 1-inch strips crosswise now you have a number of loops.

You can then make a chain from these loops by intertwining them. Lay two loops down the table making sure to over lap them on one another. Take the top loop and then work it back under the bottom one and come up into its own loop pull on it until the two loops are securely joined. Repeat this process until you have all the loops joined.

Cut plenty of crochet bags up and loop them together in this method until one long continuous strand of what you could call "crochet bag yarn". You can even roll it in a ball as you go. This may use up all your stash of grocery bags if you plan on making things as large as tote bags which is one thing you can crochet bags. When you think you have enough yarn for your project you will have decide upon what hook size you want to use.

Working with this type of material to crochet with I would choose an H hook or even larger. However it does depend on how tight you want the weave. So play around with a few hook sizes to see which one you like the best.
