This is cool, but wouldn’t all of the soil wash out of the holes? :/

[...] crochet hook – plarn is tough on the hands so a hook with a chunky handle will be better To make plarn, fold a plastic bag and cut into strips around 1 inch wide (you can cut thick bags a little narrower and thin bags a little wider to get a fairly consistent gauge). You are cutting your bag side-to-side, so each strip will actually be a loop. Thread one loop through the previous loop and through itself to attach them together.

That’s an absolutely fabulous idea. And Carice’sx suggestion on bonsai is a good one. Off to try this…

Sounds like it would work great on bonsai so that you don’t have to repot the trees to prune their roots. I’m going to try making a rectangular or square shaped planter out of plarn. What size hook did you use?

Whoa, this is a great idea. I’ve never heard of plarn, but I have enough plastic bags under my sink to make about 100 of these. Which might be a slight exaggeration. But I bet I’m close.

Thank you for participating in the Creative Therapy session at Life in the Pitts!
