My grandmother had kitchen rugs made from those colorful Wonder Bread plastic bags. She crocheted them as she collected them. Not surprisingly, she must have caved to the ease of buying a precut delicious loaf of white bread as opposed to her daily baking of bread, punching down, rising, punching down…
Perhaps it’s genetic. I’m saving the lavender-colored plastic wraps around our daily (now that’s a stretch!) newspaper. They’re just so pretty, I am considering learning to crochet them into a rug. I also have two lime-green colored bags which must have been a failed experiment in plastic wrap.
And where would this yet-to-be-created rug be placed? Perhaps you could be the next craft victim? Chances are – you and I are both safe from this potential experiment.
Picture please! 🙂
