Despite having reusable bags to use when I have to go shopping, I do sometimes end up with mounds of plastic bags. (Mainly because I have such a horrible memory and forget to bring my reusable bags!) I also save plastic bead bags, produce bags, etc. So, what do you do when you have way too many plastic bags? You make crafts!

Believe it or not, you can make a large variety of crafts using plastic bags. You can use crochet techniques to make a plastic bag hat or a fashionable tote bag. You can make some home decor items, such as a wreath or a comfy ped bed. You can find these and many more craft ideas when you browse through this collection of plastic bag crafts. Check out all of the crafts in the collection and then you can even submit your ideas to be published using this simple form.

Beading is a fun craft for all ages. The list of crafts you can make using beads and few other supplies is very long.

When it comes to working with beads you mainly need two things: beads and something to string the beads onto. Even the fanciest beaded jewelry and other beaded projects use mainly these two supplies. It is the beading technique used that, for the most part, determines how fancy or simple the finished product looks.
