Recycled Materials: Crocheted Purse



This was the best project so far! I love using recycled materials. This purse is made completely out  of small strips of the material used for packaging Colgate tooth paste. As soon as I saw the material I knew if I cut the strips small enough I could crochet it. I actually had a lot of fun making this. I couldn't believe it came out the way it did. I had experimented first to see what would happen, but I am very pleased with the outcome. It's absolutely functional and can carry just about anything. For me I thought it would make a great tote bag for the beach because the sand would slide right through it. The handles are repurposed paint can handles that didn't overpower the purse.
