Before we get into 5 ways you can recycle plastic bags, I want to encourage you first and foremost to use reusable grocery bags instead of plastic bags.

There are so many incredible projects that I could highlight that involve crocheting with plastic bags! Some of my favorite tutorials are Crochet a Plastic Bag by Plasticbagbag.com and Crocheted Plastic Bag Placemats by Creative Jewish Mom.

We have our very own tutorial on how to make your own “plarn” (plastic yarn) from plastic bags as well!
