A very creative gal in our ward (Andrea Schmutz) has made all sorts of cool things -- including bags made out of capri-sun packages. She has a big bag made from capri-suns that she uses for her church bag. She also has these really cool bags all crocheted out of those plastic grocery store bags. She is truly the queen of recycling!
Janika was so entralled that she called Andrea up and asked her if she would teach her how to made some. Andrea agreed and told Janika that it would be a good idea for her to start off with a little bag first. So this is Janika's first little bag (she put the handle on later). Instead of being sewn together like many of Andrea's are, this one has a white grocery bag laced through holes that were made with a hole punch. Janika has also started crocheting together grocery bags -- but that project takes a lot more time. So if you receive a gift bag from Janika made out of capri-sun bags then know that it was made in love!

Wow! That is pretty cool! Way to go Jani. I have heard of crocheting the plastic bags (though there are a precious commodity at our house for stinky diapers) but have never before seen a Capri-Sun bag!
