Custom order for plarn plant coasters

A couple of weeks ago, I received a request in my etsy shop (plarnstar.etsy.com) to make plarn plant coasters. The customer wanted 7 inch plarn circles to attach to cork and use under her houseplants. 

So, I went through my (extensive) plastic bag stash and pulled out bags in the neutral color scheme she was looking for. I flattened, folded, and cut up 12 bags using the biscuit method.

I then tied the loops together to make a really huge pile of variegated plarn - PLastic yARN.

Next, I adjusted my plarn dish scrubby pattern and started to crochet around and around.

I stopped once the circle measured 7 inches across - and then made a second one! 

And I had enough plarn left over to make a dish scrubby or two another day. Yay! 

I had a lot of fun making something new. What can I make for you? ❤♻️

Facebook Fan Page Raffle Winner

One of my dearest friends from High School won my recent Facebook Fan Page Raffle!

She chose a plarn button bracelet as her prize. She wears a lot of black, grey, and purple, so I made her a bracelet out of a Kohl's bag from West Springfield, MA and a big purple vintage button. Here it is!

I haven't seen her in years, so I think I'm going to tell her she has to meet me for coffee in order to collect her prize!  :)
