A bag made from bags... Tutorial

Waste paper bin liners.

Cut off & discard the bottom.

I cut each bag into 12 strips, then I opened them out.

This is how I made the plastic "wool"

I will add a photo of the finished product once complated.

Handles:
1. Ch 120
2. SL1 to join chain. SC all around for 3 rows.
3. To separate handles from bag. SC 20, CH 20 (skip 20 to create first handle), SC 40, CH 20, (skip 20 to create second handle), SC 20.
4. SC 120 (one row).

Body of the bag:
1. CH 4, {Skip 1, DC 1, CH 1} ←Repeat the bracketed stitches until you reach the end of the round.
2. DC into the opening created by the chain stitch openings of the previous round. {CH 1, DC 1} ← Repeat the bracketed stitches for three more rounds.
3. (CH 2, DC 1} ← Repeat for one round.
4. {CH 2, DC 1} ←Repeat for four more rounds.
5. {CH 1, DC 1} ← Repeat for one round.
6. {CH 1, DC 1} ← Repeat for one round.
7. Bag Bottom: At the end of the previous round, lay the bag flat so that the handles are lying on top of one another. While holding the front and the back of the bag together, SC through both sides to close up the bottom of the bag, and tie a knot at the end.
8. Weave in ends.

Kudos goes to theadventuresofcassie  for the original idea and to trickee_nic
for the tweaked pattern.
