So I had seen a couple of patterns to make stuff out of grocery bags and I kept wondering, "Well how in the heck do you make the yarn out of it?" They never explained that part in the patterns. Well the other night my sister sent me a link to a video for how to do it! And I got soooo excited I started on my own reusable grocery bag/ tote bag (I haven't decided yet haha)!! If you guys want photos or a video let me know and I will add them. But this is how you do it
Lay the bag flat then fold it in half 3 or 4 times, long ways. By that I mean handles together. Then as close to the seam as you can cut off the bottom where it seals shut. then cut off the handles. Now you are going to fold it in half from there, and then in thirds. now cut each fold. now you have 6 loops to crochet with. you link them together and use them as you make them, super simple! AND you are reducing, reusing, and recycling all at the same time. there are numerous patterns you can find on google and even you tube for stuff to make with your new yarn.
As I said if you need visual help let me know and I'll make a video or take pictures.
Good luck in your crafting adventures!
