I walked into my daughter's room one day and spotted this adorable recycled plastic bag bunting on her armchair. Isn't it sweet? I must explain how this plastic bag bunting was made, since I think your jaw might just drop when I reveal the secret.
So you know those colored plastic grocery bags, the smaller ones that say are used in a vegetable store? Well, they come in a stack, and are somehow constructed such that the bag is actually machine punched as a stack. So that means that as the bags are torn off the stack in the store, there is a little piece left which is punched out to form the handles. Are you with me? When all the bags are used up there remains a stack of plastic bag pieces in the shape of the bunting banner that you see above. So.........some kids figured out that you can make banners by tying those pieces together. Brilliant right?
Oh and by the way, yes, I made that pillow, it's knitted sheets and pillowcases, highly recommended! You can find out how to knit with sheets right here on my post knitting with rags. In that post I talk about making table runners, but in actuality those table runners eventually became delicious pillows!
