Could somebody tell me what I could do with all of my plastic sacks that I get from Wal-Mart, grocery stores,etc..
I know I could return them or recycle,is there something else I could do with them?

My elderly neighbor uses them as her garbage sack since she has little garbage. She takes our extras. I have seen people braid them into rugs for wiping wet feet on.

this is the results of a google search. See if there is something there that interests you:)
I made a bag out of my plastic bags to put my newspapers in. If you do a search on Google, you will see many projects including some beautiful purses, etc.
Here is a link to images, you can also search for directions:

Check with your local charity groups, we have a group that crochets mats for the homeless out of them.
Oh No!!! Did we really have to go there? :lol:Originally Posted by moonrise

take your extra sacks to like the thrift stores, antique stores etc. as they can always use sacks
our craft class at school crochets them into bags and mats.
