This is a great way to reuse a handful of bright or accent colored plastic bags.  Using a couple baskets from the dollar store, I took my normal plarn and wove it through creating the pattern.  Crown Poly has an excellent how-to for making plarn - I typically leave loops in pieces until I need the next one on the project I am working on so that it's easy to compensate for the length variation.  For this project, pick a starting point and just work the plastic around like a thread and then finish the rim of the basket by looping around to cover the edge then tuck the tail of the plarn into the weave.

Its not anything different, however its a new take on my normal usage of plastic.  This is the first foray into ironing a material that can be sewn - so more to come shortly!

And by shortly, I actually meant later the same day.  After testing a bit with different temperatures, I found that 4 ply of material goes together well and still offers great flexibility with a little bit of stretch but no feeling that it will break.  Thereby inspiring me to start out with some card holders to see how well the new material sews.  This is as close as it gets to a duct tape wallet without the sticky!  Two of them have a divider on one side, and the one with the card actually has 3 slots on one side.

Welcome to the Synner approach to market bags.  These are quite a bit sturdier than the conventional net pattern.  Similar to my grocery totes I featured before, they feature bamboo pieces where the handles attach for excellent weight dispersal and prevents the odd plastic stretching.  The top row features two styles of bags constructed from Safeway material [white w/ red/black] and the third bag is Walmart material [white w/ blue].  The smaller bag utilizes a single handle which makes it a great option for fruits or vegetables.

Part of my incorporated materials include bamboo which grow quite well in this climate.  I planted these about a year and a half ago and have produced many new shoots this year so I have plenty for my creations.
