Cat and Elephant bags

I thought of making these shapes of bags for teenagers. The pictures I have are a little too big, I reckon, so I think that they are good for adults especially the tote bag. I am making another different one I think it won't be for teenagers either. I think it will be the same size as the cat's bag. I am enjoying making them. I still have to come up with the right measurements though. I wanted to introduce another colour in the back ground but I changed my mind. You do use a lot of yarn for making these bags but the result is amazing. Here are the pictures of the bags.

Fred the frog

Fred the frog, I made this one from a pattern. As soon as my daughter saw this frog she said that is mine. I ran out of filling so this frog is filled with clean plastic bags. I think I prefer polyester filling.
A little recycling doesn't hurt anyone. I was looking for small toys so I can attach the key chain to them. It is slightly bigger then I thought but still small. It was quick to do this frog pretty straight forward once you can read the patterns. I had bought these beautiful cats eyes and I wanted to use them. What I realized I need to put pipe cleaners in his legs and make them slightly more longer. Also put weights in the body so he can sit better. My daughter wanted him to have smiley face and some frogs have the eyes looking sideways. Here is the picture of the finished frog. I'm happy when I finish each and every toy, I'm surprised at the end results of how it looks or how I can make it better. I made a grumpy one I like it better and smaller feet.

My bee

I made a scribble of a bee awhile back and that is what I tried to make. I made the wings out of clear plastic bags. I wanted to use plastic to see how it will turn out. It is just fine to use plastic as well as yarn. About the mouth, I tried to make it like the picture but I thought it wasn't turning out well so I changed it to smiley mouth. I can never unpick my work Because I stitch around many times since kids will be handling it. So here are the pictures.

Recycle orange and green slippers

I made these slippers from used plastic shopping bags. I like to recycle plastic bags. I have been collecting these bags because I like these colors. I was saving these orange bags to make a nice bag but my daughter wanted me to make her slippers. I had to use them as I didn't have any. It didn't take me long to do. Here is a picture of the slippers.I did't use a pattern. I cut the size of her shoe and followed it with single crochet.

Recycle handbag

I made this awhile back. I made this out of used plastic bags. You go through a lot of bags to make this handbag. It is very useful and practical. A better use for the plastic bags instead of throwing them away. It will be useful again. If you like to see a video of how I joined the plastic strips together just comment and I will make a video to show you how. Well here is a picture of two bags.
