Plarn It! How To Make Plastic Yarn and free plarn patterns for crafters.Plarn is the craft of the day.

I hear you, plarn? What is plarn? Plastic yarn crafted by recycling plastic bags.

Definition Of Plarn

Plarn is yarn made from plastic bags. If you own a collection of plastic bags, and I know you do…. then making plarn is very simple and quick to ‘manufacture.’ Once you create the plarn, there are many fun and upcycle projects any knitter, crocheter or DIY er can make.

Although plarn does not garner an entry in Merriam Webster’s Dictionary, technically plarn is defined as plastic yarn.

Plarn Projects

Indeed there are a vast variety of items which can be made into plarn. One of the most popular plastic yarn crafts is the crochet shopping bag. A wonderful plastic yarn craft, particularly for grocery shopping.

Your creativity and imagination are the only constraint as to what can be made into plarn. A few of the popular plarn projects include:

  • throw rugs
  • purses
  • wristlets
  • sandals
  • basket
  • tops
  • hats
  • costumes
  • wall hangings and art
    (Me) those things to put under plants, like those plastic dishes we put under the plants.
  • and my favorite the plarn mat
    …

Seems wasteful. Why not just use spring onions, if you just want the leaf? You can regrow the onion with just a little bit of the bottom part along with roots, might have to soak it in water for a few days.

The use of recyled plastic?

31

Using the whole onion.

Don’t know if this is considered recycling but this was my grandmother or great grandmothers purs that I used yesterday and as we have had the same size when it comes to clothes for at least 4 generations i have alot in my wardrobe (things had better quality in the days). When it comes to other things I try be creative with the things around me.

The females have been around 150-160cm and small (I can use some things from the childrens part of the store, not shoes thought I have big feet). I think is nice that I can use so many things but once I used a dress and I didn’t think about that the fabric should have been prepared before using so the seems was starting to dessolv during a party so now days I know how and what to do before just taking something out… :wink:

Hi @frustratedwriter,
Your post above, like @maria_lavendula_77 's above, is not best suited for this opened topic.

It figures, if they are removing the past linked videos, they should remove the post. All previous videos went into the black hole. :hole: :eyes:

They should not. They should keep their filthy fingers off our posts, including the videos.

Well here’s the definition or meaning of recycle, it is as the word says re-cycle, another cycle of life or reuse:

We are just thinking because of the recycling we do for paper, plastic, glas, batteries and that sort it concern those materials, but it’s actually for anything that finds another purpose or using.

And then there is upcycle or upcycling producing with an used material another product. Some clothing is made from plastic bottles… polyester…
