Todas nós temos em casa um monte de sacolas plásticas de supermercado que já não sabemos de que jeito usar. Por isso hoje vou lhes contar como fazer uma bolsa ecológica para as compras e você poderá reciclar estas sacolas plásticas. Este artesanato reciclado é super simples, e você pode aproveitar para fazer sacolas e vender. Com certeza você poderá oferecer um bom preço, a sua matéria-prima é praticamente de graça! Confira o passo a passo e tenho certeza de que irá adorar. Materiais: Sacolas plásticas Tesoura Agulha de crochê Passo a passo: Para fazer esta bolsa ecológica, o primeiro que você precisa fazer é preparar as sacolas plásticas para o crochê. No final do artigo você poderá ver as fotos do passo a passo completo, mas para que este passo fique bem claro, vou lhe deixar este vídeo: Prepare a linha com várias sacolas e depois poderá começar seu crochê. Na realidade, você pode fazer esta sacola em diferentes estilos, e todos eles ficarão bem, mas eu vou lhes contar o meu preferido. Se você desejar fazer diferente, depende de você. Segundo a medida que você desejar de largo para a sua bolsa, a quantidade de pontos corrente que você terá que fazer no começo. Tome a medida e faça-a em pontos corrente. Uma vez que tiver os pontos corrente, comece a crochetar com ponto baixo sobre eles, e continue assim com as carreiras seguintes. O ideal é que você crochete um retângulo que tenha por largo a medida que você escolheu e por comprimento o dobro desta medida, mas você pode fazer um comprimento maior. Uma vez que tiver o seu retângulo, dobre-o ao meio e feche as laterais. Depois de fechar as laterais, faça uma aça em cada um dos lados, e pode usar ponto baixíssimo para caprichar no acabamento. Na foto, você pode ver uma flor feita com a mesma linha de sacolas plástica; você pode fazê-la ou não, depende de você. Esta bolsa reciclada está pensada para ir de compras ao mercado, mas você pode dar o uso que preferir. Espero que tenham gostado e possam usar em casa! Fonte: O Artesanato

Últimamente he estado probando esto de hacer ganchillo con materiales reciclados. Lo que más me ha convencido es usar esas odiosas bolsas de plástico, que una no sabe de dónde salen porque siempre uso bolsas de tela o rafia, o el carro de la compra... Sin embargo siempre aparecen más y más y parece que van a invadir mi casa... ¡con lo que contaminan! Así que he decidido buscarles una vida mejor. Os enseño mi técnica para usar una bolsa de plástico para hacer un ovillo de cinta continuo, con el que podéis hacer ganchillo: Os pongo una imagen un poco más explicativa sobre cómo hacer el corte para que quede una tira continua: En la última foto podéis ver para cuánto llega una sola bolsa de plástico. He usado una aguja de 4 mm, y unos 30 puntos (17 cm aprox), y creo que fueron 8 vueltas. Hay que tener cuidado de no estirar demasiado la hebra, porque se rompe. ABSTENEROS DE HACER UN CÍRCULO MÁGICO, porque al tirar para cerrar, se romperá. También podéis ganchillar en redondo, según el proyecto que queráis hacer. Os enseño un par de proyectos que yo he hecho: Una cestita y una especie de bolsillo porta bocatas (o porta meriendas en general), para mi niña para el cole. Está hecho como un rectángulo muy largo, plegado y cosido. Para mi sorpresa, me ha parecido un material muy fácil de trabajar, porque resbala bastante bien y tiene cierta elasticidad; aunque dependiendo de la consistencia de la bolsa, puede resultar más o menos pegajoso. Os recomiendo que cuando ganchilléis bolsas de plástico, tengáis las manos bien secas, porque de lo contrario, se os pegará a las manos. Podéis usar un poco de talco si os sudan las manos. Las mejores bolsas para usar son las normales, preferiblemente sin dibujos y sin "costuras" a los lados (aunque si los tiene, no pasa nada) Espero que os guste y lo pongáis en práctica!

Well with a little push from my friend Janelle at Emmaline Bags & Patterns. I have decided to jump into the Sew-vivor auditions. So I came up with a new pattern for a tote to hold my Kobo (and also my dream of a perfect tote to put my iPad mini in.) That is of course just a dream, sadly to say I don't have a iPad mini. It is so great to have a safe place to put it just in case, one shows up for Mother's Day or something. (Yes it is a suggest in case my DH is reading this.) With the new pattern I had to come up with a new fabric to go with it. Plastic fabric or fused plastic - I'm not sure how to describe it. Something that is water proof, sews up like fabric and can be any colour or design you want. In my case many colours of polka dots, the funniest one having text that says "recycle where facilities exist". I laughed when I saw the symbol fit perfectly into my dot size. Well if I was going to reuse/up-cycle items for this tote, I should try to reuse pretty much everything I could think of. Plastic bags became the fabric, an old car seat belt became the strap for it (that way it is adjustable from on the shoulder to over body). I did use cotton duck, felt, thread, magnetic closures, and interfacing that were all new to ensure good structure for the bag. I use to make fused plastic material years ago and then sew up bags - heck I also use to make up plarn (yarn derived from plastic bags) and crochet up bags with that as well. I was known to do that, so hence my piles of plastic bags that people use to give me. I have since gotten stronger and said no more plastic bags. So my stash is getting smaller, which is a good thing. I have even folded them nice and neat and placed them in boxes so they take up less room. I have written up two tutorials, one How To Make Plastic Fabric, and one How To Sew With Plastic Fabric. So get out your bags and irons and go to town and see what you can come up with. The skies the limit or is it more your plastic stash is your limit.

Over the past few weeks me and my friend Carolyn have been trying our best to find a way to recycle all the carrier bags we've collected by weaving them into baskets. With no prior weaving experience I got some inspiration from fellow blogger Michelle of Conserve Plastic Bags. In one of her posts she suggested coiling the plastic bags and provided a link to nativetech.org, a fantastic website with detailed instructions on Native American weaving techniques. This is how I transferred those techniques for use with plastic bags. It was great fun and I hope you enjoy the tutorial. To make a recycled plastic bag basket you will need scissors, a bodkin or large tapestry needle, plenty of clear tape, around forty carrier bags (depending on the size of the basket) and garden twine. While looking for garden twine I found a fantastic product called DYNA-TIE which i think is only available in the UK. It's a strong plastic strip that comes in lengths of a hundred meters for only 50p, and the colour is pretty too! To start the basket you first need to prepare the carrier bags so that they take the place of a bundle of pine needles. Begin by laying the bag on a flat surface and smoothing out. If the bag has handles which extend upwards carefully cut these off to create an even rectangular shape. Keep these as they will turn out to be useful later. Before you start rolling the bag I've found it helps a lot to cut a few strips of tape so they are to hand. Roll the bag from the closed end as tightly and evenly as possible. Once you reach the top quickly tape the roll in place, first securing the middle and both ends and then adding tape to smooth out ragged edges. You should be left with a long thin bundle perfect for weaving with. Now I think it's probably best I hand you over to the capable hands at nativetech.org to explain the first stages of weaving. These diagrams are beautifully clear and explain the process so much better than my blurry photography ever could! Unwind a length of garden twine to begin work. At first it won't be necessary to thread the twine onto a needle. Leave a small gap at the top of the plastic-bag-bundle and as shown wind the garden twine around the bundle to create a section around 2" long which is entirely covered in twine (steps 2 and 3). Carefully fold this section in half to form a loop and with help from a little more tape seal the loop (step 4). Now you can begin the first 'round'. Fold the carrier-bag-bundle around the central loop so that you begin to create the spiral shape. Passing the twine around the outside and through the centre you will create a strong central ring. You should continue to bind the central ring in this way for one full rotation, and then you can begin to work the second round. For this round, and all the rest that were to follow I found that the interlocking stitch was the best option. If you are using garden twine which is more fibrous then you might find that the split stitch is stronger. To form the second round continue to wrap the plastic bag around the central ring in a spiral, but instead of passing the twine through the centre thread the twine onto your needle and use the interlocking stitch. Thread the twine through the loop of each stitch in the foundation ring, passing the needle from front to back. The stitches should be even and close. In this way the whole basket is made up. To insert a new plastic bag simply roll and tape as before and tape to the previous bundle with an overlap of around half an inch for extra security. As you work round you'll find the basket grows quickly! At this stage you could also easily use your spiral as a colourful place-mat. Once you feel the base is large enough you just need to begin working upwards. This is a lot easier than it sounds! Simply lay the next round on top of the previous one and, still using the interlocking stitch, pass the twine from the inside of the basket to the outside. Once your basket is of a height you like the only thing to add are the handles. For mine I decided that the best thing to use would be the leftover handles from all the bags I'd been using! To do this flatten out the handle and roll, as with the bags, to form a miniature bundle. Create nine of these in a variety of colours and set them out int groups of three. Tape each group of three end-to-end to create three long thin bundles and then plait them together. This plaited length should be long enough to make a good handle. Pass each end of the handle through the basket, two rounds below the top layer, and then tape the loose ends together. Make this connection nice and secure. To finish lift up the loops of handle inside and outside the basket and hold them together. Bind them in this position, as close as possible to the top of the basket, with more twine. The great thing about baskets made in this way is that they are waterproof and very flexible. When I first started weaving my basket I was worried about the base holding its shape, but now it's finished I've found that the flexibility means that the base bows beautifully, creating a lovely pear-shape. Here are some more pictures of the finished result, which I'm intending to use as a laundry basket. Once Carolyn has finished weaving hers I might include some pictures of hers too. As well as weaving more closely than I have she's been very creative in working an oval shape into the base of the basket, giving it a very different style. I hope you've enjoyed the tutorial. If you have any questions about how the basket was made please let me know. Stay lucky, x x x
