Chloe and Mathieu's plastic shopping bag project
Chloe and Mathieu's school challenged them to create a recycled craft. Here's a great pattern that they came up with.
"The elementary school that my children (Chloe, 10, and Mathieu, 7) attend challenged the students to create a recycled craft. The project motivated us to stretch our imaginations, work together and clean out the recycling bin. From the plastic shopping bags we had accumulated, the children each created a beautiful, sturdy personalized bag. We love them, and hope you do, too!"
