Recycle your plastic bags into fashion wear

I've mentioned some of the ways to recycle plastic shopping bags before but wearing them is a new concept to me! Apparently there are a lot of wearable crafts that can be made from shopping bags.

One trip over to Etsy and I found hair rosettes, a crocheted purse, and earrings. Plastic bags can be made into yarn and even fabric by fusing several layers together. The creative possibilities are endless. Now if only I could find the time to make my own fabulous creation.
