I'm glad to introduce my new one. This time I made a basket larger than the one I already have and for this basket I knitted a lid. Not big Master Class I suggest you look below.
For work I needed five 80l garbage bags, copper wire, a hook and a little imagination. The basket turned out to be six centimeters deep, of course I could have made it bigger, but I don’t have that much wire, and you can say I got it just right. I knitted the basket with single crochets, tying wire around the circumference to make the basket stable.
First, I knitted the bottom, then, without interrupting the knitting, I moved to the walls of the basket; to do this, I needed to knit the edge not by pulling the hook through two loops, but by pulling it through one outer loop. In this way, a break is obtained and during subsequent knitting the pattern goes onto the wall of the basket, and then knitted in single crochets in the same way. I also tied the wire all the way to the very top of the basket without tearing it off.
I knitted the lid for the basket in the same way as the basket, only I increased it a little in diameter so that it could easily cover the basket.
This work took me very little time; for those who know how to knit, this work will be a mere trifle, and for those who are just learning, they will be able to gain invaluable experience. If you decide to knit a similar basket from bags, you can contact me for advice, I will be happy to help.
Using this method, you can knit baskets of any size and shape, and the color of the bags can also be chosen to suit your taste. Nowadays there are many bags of different colors on sale; for some craftswomen who are fond of this kind of needlework, this is a treasure. I wish you pleasant creativity, may inspiration not leave you!

HANDLE (2 pcs.)
Using MC ribbons in 2 folds, using a large hook and leaving a 20 cm end of thread at the beginning and end, tie a 25 cm flagellum. Set aside.
ASSEMBLY
Cut 1 piece of ribbon 2 - 3 cm longer than necessary to fit around the outer edge of the basket. Pull the ribbon through the posts of the 40th row; sew the edges of the ribbon from the inside of the basket. Stretch the second ribbon between the columns of the 8th row and sew the ends. Holding the handles inside the basket, use threads left at both ends to attach the handles to the 11th row of the basket.
Crocheting a basket is quite simple. Even a child can handle this. But if you knit from regular threads, then the basket will turn out to be too soft and will not hold its shape. You'll have to starch it and then dry it. You can avoid unnecessary hassle if you use ribbons cut from plastic bags instead of yarn. There are quite a few used packaging bags in every home. Here we will put them into action.
Soft plastic bags of any color, including transparent ones, will do. These can be T-shirt bags with handles, or regular lunch bags. The polyethylene basket holds its shape perfectly and, if necessary, is easy to clean.
First we need to prepare the material from which we will knit the basket. Take a plastic bag, fold it and cut off the strips one by one. approximately one centimeter wide. Each strip will be closed into a ring. We take two rings, insert one into the other, as shown in the photo: the right one will be slipped under the left one. Fold the ring on the right in half and stretch it bottom part to the top. Carefully tighten the knot. Do not pull the tape too tightly, otherwise the polyethylene may tear. It is important to ensure that the knot is exactly in the middle.
We connect all the rings in the same way. To make it easier to knit in the future, we wind the resulting “thread” into a ball.
For knitting it is better to use a thick crochet hook. Size No. 7 will fit. It will take no more than an hour.
First you need to weave a chain of eight air loops, then connect its edges together. To move to the second row, you need to cast on two air loops, and then knit twenty-three double crochets.
In the next row we will add one chain stitch after each double crochet. The knitting should be flat because it will be the bottom of the basket.
Then we knit in the same way, alternating double crochet and air loop, but without adding. Knitting should “grow” from the bottom up. You need to knit three rows. This grid pattern will allow you to make the basket openwork. To make the basket more stable, you can put a circle cut out of cardboard on the bottom.
For the handle we knit a braid of sixteen air loops, which, for strength, we tie with regular stitches.
A basket knitted from plastic bags can be an excellent basis for an Easter composition. You can put, for example, colored eggs and sweets in it. Or decorate with flowers.
There are creative people who know many ways to arrange plastic bags in such a way that many designers and eminent craftsmen can envy. But most of us only have enough imagination to reuse them. As it turned out, this amazingly pliable material can be used not only for its intended purpose, but also to make very useful and truly exclusive things for your home. And if you still decide to get rid of the accumulated pile of packages, then this interesting master class is definitely for you.
Each house must have its own package with... packages that are stored in huge quantities. Well, what if it comes in handy?! And when this bag of bags swells to alarming proportions, we begin to think about where to put them so that it will be useful for business, and we don’t want to pollute the environment at all. It will be very useful for such cases master class on making a simple basket, which will certainly come in handy in the household.
1. Materials and tools
In order to weave a very simple basket, you will need:
Plastic bags;
- scissors;
- sewing needle;
- polyester threads with increased strength;
- a large nail or hook (for ease of weaving).
2. Preparatory work
In order to have “threads” for weaving, you need to prepare it. To do this, each plastic bag must be cut correctly. First we cut off the handles and the bottom, then cut strips 4 cm wide along the bias, without interrupting until the end of the bag.
This should create one long strip. You can cut all the material into such “threads” at once, but it is better to do this in several steps, because you don’t know how many of them you will need, and whether you can make a basket in the allotted time.
3. Weaving technique
In order to weave braids from cut strips, you need to find an anchoring point. To do this, you can simply drive a nail into the side of a bedside table, for example, or a table leg (decide for yourself), you can also use any other base from which you can easily remove the finished “yarn”.
To make a braid, take three strips and fold them in half for strength and volume of the finished product. Having hooked onto the existing fastening, we begin to weave a regular braid. Experts on the site advise you to control the tension of the “thread”; you shouldn’t tighten it too much – it will be very ugly, but you shouldn’t do it too loosely either – you’ll end up with a very loose and unstable basket.
You cannot weave to the very ends, because you will need to tie polyethylene “threads” together for continuity of the process. To do this, at the end of the weaving we connect each of the three strips double knot. Thus, you need to braid the braid until all the bags are gone.
4. Assembling the basket
When the braid is completely ready, begin to twist the free edge in a spiral, into a so-called snail, forming the bottom of the basket. Decide on the diameter yourself, but it’s better not to make it small, because the product will turn out unstable.
Each row of the spiral must be secured to each other using a needle and strong thread. When the base is ready, begin to form the sides.
Now the rest of the braided tape needs to be laid in a circle and each row carefully secured. At the same time, try to control the thread tension so as not to spoil appearance, and the strength of the “structure” itself was not affected.
The remaining free edge must certainly be hidden inside the basket and firmly secured with threads. That's all - a simple basket is ready, which you can use as you wish.
Every person, at least once in his life, is faced with the problem of threading a needle, and it arises not only among amateurs, but also among craftswomen. In order not to suffer for a long time trying to do this, look at one interesting and very effective method, or doing it for the first time.

One of the most popular women's accessories, which our needlewomen knit with their own hands from polyethylene yarn, is a handbag. . It is very easy to make yarn from bags (we will tell you about the technique for making such yarn below), and bags crocheted from it turn out to be very modern, beautiful and durable! 
There are different types of garbage bags. One of the parameters that manufacturers indicate on the packaging is the volume of garbage placed in the bag in liters (20L, 30L, 35L, 60L or 120L). The second parameter is density. Bags with higher density are stronger and rougher to the touch.
The higher the density of a garbage bag, the thinner it is necessary to cut the thread from it to make bags and rugs. With experience, you will learn to quickly select the appropriate hook for knitting items from such homemade yarn. It is advisable to knit a small sample of fabric before starting work. , from which the product will be formed. It is advisable for beginning knitters to choose plastic garbage bags with a capacity of up to 50 liters. Yarn made from this material is softer and easier to crochet. But do not use plastic bags that are too thin for knitting bags - the product will not hold its shape very well.
2. HOW TO MAKE QUALITY YARN FOR CROCHETING FROM POLYETHYLENE GARBAGE BAGS
If you are going to knit a bag or rug from polyethylene with your own hands for the first time, choose soft matte bags for making yarn.
To form threads, you need to cut strips from bags (the width corresponds to the hook number) and connect them into a single thread. Try to cut strips of equal width so that the surface crocheted the product turned out to be homogeneous;
To speed up the process of making yarn, fold the balls into an even stack (5-7 pieces) and cut the strips with scissors along a ruler, marking the width with a marker;
Having straightened each polyethylene strip, we get a ring;
We connect these rings of strips in one of the following ways:
√
The first method is to connect all the elements at once into a ball. To do this, place the segment on another, pass it through the ring, stretch it to the sides, forming a knot. We wind the double thread into a ball of yarn;
√
the second method is a little faster. We fasten each thread after knitting the previous one. That is, the next ring must be passed through the remaining tail.
- straighten the plastic bag and carefully fold it so that the fold is even along the entire length;
Then you can cut off the handles of the bag and the bottom. Cut it into rings approximately 2-5 cm thick;
The edge of one ring must be placed under the edge of the second and a knot must be tied. This is how we form yarn for knitting products. We wind this thread into a ball.
