i saw this via fiftyRX3. they are plastic bags turned into pretty woven containers. i had seen plastic bag crochet (and i’ve done it too) but the final fabric is a bit loose, suiting a bag more than a cylinder. but arbel egger is a basket maker, who took a different approach.
and the result is very appealing, which as i mentioned before, is one of the challenges when reusing/repurposing.
this method reminds me of braided rugs:
you can see her post about it on her blog. she also made a very big one. there are also process photos in her flickr set on plastic bags.

When I was younger, a friend of my mother’s made rugs out of bread bags; this recyclable is very interesting. I also would love to find some kind of of info on how to make these, as well as other plastic bag items…is there a site or tutorial out there anyplace?
