"How to turn those pesky plastic grocery bags that seem to pile up into a cool dog leash and also help keep plastic bags out of our landfills, one dog at a time!"
You don't have to own a dog to make these, just donate what you make to your local animal shelter or dog rescue. You can make this a class project then let the kids donate what the've made to their local animal shelter or dog rescue, I'm sure they would love them for it!

    Hmmm, I've never thought of that, thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a try and see how it holds up!
    Also, for any of you that like to macramé I've made some nice plant hangers with the plastic bags with using the square knot and half knot. :-)
