We were challenged to use Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle items to reduce our impact on the environment. I knew my family uses a lot of plastic bags. I went online to find what I could do with them and I found that people were crocheting them. So I came up with the idea to make a box that the sides would be crocheted plastic bags.

I gather all the bags of bags my family had in our house. I then went to cut the bags. So first I lay the bag flat. Then I roll the bag up.

I then unrolled the pieces so they where loops. I looped the loops together as shown.

When I had them all designed in Illustrator, I went and cut them out on the laser. I made the sides four layers thick and I made the top, bottom, and lid only 3 layers thick.

Then it was all done.
