rigidheddleweaving.com THIS IS A MUCH BETTER METHOD http Find me on Facebook at www.facebook.com This is how to make "plarn" or plastic yarn for weaving. You can use this same exact technique for T-Shirts (except cut the strips 3/4"). Start with a plastic grocery/shopping bag. fold and cut off the bottom and handles so that now you have only a tube. Fold one edge over leaving an edge of appx 3 ". Cut 1 1/2" strips in the folded edge. Open it up and then make the diagonal cuts for one continuous strip. This will yield appx 9 yards of "plarn". You're now ready to weave some nice fabrics for tote bags, make up cases, maybe even a rain coat for your dog? You're limited only by your imagination! I have 2 projects posted at rigidheddleweaving.com for this fabric.
