It’s a great way to reuse them and they are surprisingly durable…although stretchy; don’t use them to hold a watermelon! That pic definitely looks like grass, but they don’t up close, which I love. It means it sparks some really interesting and inspiring conversations with people when they look puzzled over the “material”. I can’t tell you how many convos I’ve had in line at the grocery store over reusable bags and the unsustainability of plastic bags, simply because someone saw and questioned these bags!

I raided my mum's bag draw, lol... it gets funny when I have a design in mind and I need a particular colour... I end up visiting friends and searching their cupboards. I crochet Plarn too!

These bags are beautiful, and the prices are quite reasonable for the amount of work that goes into them. Good find Martin!
