How Do You Cut Plastic Bags Into Yarn?

Published in DIY Crafts 1 min read

Cutting plastic bags into yarn, also known as "plarn," involves preparing the bags, cutting them into strips, and then looping the strips together to create a continuous strand.

From the YouTube video reference, after obtaining the strips, you can then connect them. The video further elucidates the specific steps required. However, here's a general guide based on commonly used plarn-making techniques:

  1. Prepare the Bags: Flatten the plastic bags and remove any handles or the bottom seam.

  2. Cutting: Cut the flattened bags into strips, creating loops. These can be various widths depending on the desired thickness of your plarn.

  3. Looping: Link the loops together to form a long continuous strand, creating a knot where each loop connects to the next. This produces the plarn, or plastic bag yarn.
