Plarn coasters

Hello friend,

I shared with you a post about the making of my plan coasters. Below, I linked the post in case you want to know what plarn is (recycled plastic bag yarn) and how to make it.

Here are the pictures of the two I’ve made so far, I love them and my entire family uses them. I like that I get to leave them on the table unlike my fabric ones, which I have to keep in a drawer, put them out on special occasions and wash after most uses.

Crochet plarn coasters

The background of the picture is of the fabric napkins I made. I’ll show you pictures of them eventually.

Note: if you’re crocheting these, count your rounds very well so as to make a perfect circle. I messed up and added an extra stitch, and it created a ruffle effect, rather than a perfect circle, I use the ruffled one for dish washing.

Next, I’ll show you my plarn baskets. I made 2 nesting baskets to house our rock collections. I will make another basket of the same kind, then I found a cute heart basket and I want to make a plarn one. Again, not for storage but for display of our rock collections.

Other projects I’m working on (I usually have a few going on at once and I embark on super easy and short projects like coasters and baskets that take an evening or a day to make:

  • Pillows, I have been recycling old pillows into new fancy throw pillows, I have one I’m about to finish, everyone loves them. (Finished 1)
  • Girly blanket: this is long term project. It’s for my youngest daughter. I plan on finishing it when I am healing from having my baby. (Added new color)
  • Plarn bag: this is a super long term project. It’ll take a lot of bags and I’m using super tiny stitches.

Thanks for reading and if you’re so inspired let me know what are you working on?
