getting closer!!

Answer 1

1.) The first site is a bag. And they show you how to cut up shopping bags to make your 'yarn'.
2.) Another bag
3.) a rug out of bags
4.) Bag Bed
5.) Hat, shoes, bags
6.) this gardening bag uses yarn, but could easily be down using bags.

*Note: You will want to clean the bags before using (they might make your hands dirty or smelly!) and keep some lotion near by. There is something about crocheting with plastic bags and makes your needle stick unless you use some lotion. Visit the Craftser web page for some great ideas, to help you avoid the sticking!*

Good luck and have fun and creative.
