Description:

I have seen some amazing bags made out of recyclable items when grocery shopping. I however am not talented enough (yet) to figure out how to make one.

In this swap those of you who can and do make these are welcome to trade them. For those who are like me you can go to a local store that sells the reusable ones or you can by a canvas bag kit and embellish/decorate it and swap that. The only thing I ask is that nobody sends a walmart bag.

The +1 is where you tailor this swap to your partner's likes. You will include something from the grocery store along with this bag. It can be something like a candy bar, a box of jello or fruit roll ups. If there is something specific you would like to receive please leave it in the comment section below. For the spending limit on the +1 item I am placing a $5 (US) max. That does not mean your partner needs to spend $5 it just means no more then $5 is required.

Everyone will have one partner and this is international as these do not weight hardly anything and can be folded up very small.

Newbies are welcome (we were all new once) but you must complete your profile prior to signing up. You must have an impeccable record or a good argument as I do not tolerate flakers at all! I will kick you out of this swap if your history is dodgy.

I crochet bags out of plastic bags would that be alright for this?

Yes that would be fine. I think that would be very interesting to see!:)

Sounds interesting...I'll watch for now and see if I can find a neat grocery bag. :)

I plan on using stashed fabric that I received from a local fabric swap to sew up a bag. I love reusable bags!

Talking about re-usable bags, I wish they had of had them when I was a little kid! They would have made great Halloween trick or treating bags! I saw a few kids with them last night!
