Plarn coaster

For this I cut the plastic bags in a continuous strip, making it thinner and used a G hook and it was much easier to work with.  I like the plarn coaster as my cups don't stick to it like it does with cotton yarn.

Now, if I were wanting to make another basket or a bag I would probably use the loop method for cutting the bag as I did in the basket simply because it makes for a sturdier product.

I made two round coasters but didn't take any pictures of them.

Ha! Figured it out!

Plarn Basket

I took this photo with my phone and uploaded it to Evernote and I had to figure out how to get it from Evernote to this blog.  I figured it out.  I opened it with Picassa and used the Blog button and it worked!  There is always a way around things.

A few years ago I had played around with Plarn but haven't done anything recently until now.  I like how the basket turned out and it is sitting on my bathroom counter right now.  I used the looped method of making plarn for this.

I used an H hook.
