I have made a few of those but not so colorful - yours is really nice. THe first one I cut one continuous strip from the bags, then I learned to cut rings and join them together.
Now I am curious about the VHS tapes.

The colors are great!

I have a cowgirl hat made by an old friend. I need to get it out and wear it fishing or in the garden!

When I was a little girl(sometime ago) we would always save the bread wrappers and cut them in strips. This was when we ocasionally bought "storebought bread" My Grandma would make rugs to put by the porch door to clean shoes before coming in from the garden etc.

I remember years ago we made rugs from bread bags, I think we need to do more trash to treasure. Pretty bag.
