How to Make Plarn & Crochet an Eco-Friendly Tote Bag

In this week’s edition of How-Tuesday, Etsy seller Claire Baker shares one solution for extending the useful life of the commonplace plastic grocery bag.

Claire Baker grew up and lives in Montclair, NJ, where she creates repurposed products for her Etsy shop, Montclair Made.
