The great thing about the internet is that all you need to do is upload a video to YouTube or TikTok or what ever the kids use these days, and now your way is the ‘correct’ way.

Publix (and Ron DeSantis) won’t allow the municpalities here in the Keys to pass regulation against plastic shopping bags, no matter how many times Key West passes the regs.
cloth bags for us, down to mesh drawstring bags for produce.

I learned this method from a friend (it works with flimsy bags as well) to fold them into flat triangles: How to fold plastic bags - Quickest video on how to fold shopping bags into triangles - YouTube

That’s beautiful! Did she cut the bags into strips, or use them whole? How did she get them so skinny? Just by pushing them down as she wove?

Plastic bags were outlawed in HI a couple of years ago, so we don’t have a lot of bags laying around (unless they come in with people from outside the state). I have a stash of canvas bags for shopping, and I recycle almost all the plastic bag-like objects I get for kitty litter scooping patrol. For the bags I do get, I repurposed an empty tissue box to store them.

That’s way too much work. I just straighten it out, scrunch it into a tube and tie them into a half bow. Takes longer to describe than actually do it.

I take it that you need to remove the dog poo first? Or does it toothpaste out?

That is awesome. My weaving guild is doing a re-use challenge, so this might work perfectly.

It’s sort of beige but the details are red and orange, no macramé unfortunately.
