Hi friends, if you are new here, welcome to the sunflower family, I’m Holly Auna. We do a “Monday crochet” live stream every Monday at 5pm ct followed by a new video! On this channel, we do crochet, gardening, vlogs, renfaires, DIYs, thrifting, silly hair things and so much more! 🌻🧶👩🏻🌾🪴🐸
Oh Plarn Plant Hangers would be interesting too and using recycled items to decorate them too.
Ooo that could be cute and they would be waterproof for outdoors!
My grandmother and I used to make plarn and use it to make sleeping mats for the homeless people in the community. And with them being waterproof it kept people off the literal ground and dry.
I love it!!! Plarn bags are super nice because you can have things like sunglasses and stuff in them and it doesn’t snag just like regular yarn would! It’s also FREE and it saves a couple bags from the landfill!
Ooo never thought about the sunglasses point that’s so true! I like that you can wash it really really easily
“for free” would be if the plastic bags themselves were still free. idk about other countries but the UK has really cracked down on the overconsumption of flimsy plastic shopping bags in major shops. they’re not free anymore. they went from costing just a couple pennies, to still pennies but would very quickly become a few dollars. luckily the bags we have now are stronger and made to last much longer, encouraging more people to reuse them. although you actually rarely see shop-branded bags out with people and you see more “normal” bags with designs on them as they’re even stronger and of course just look better. overall better for the environment yes, just not for this.
wow that is amazing that will have to be decreasing the use of plastic bags by so much! (which is the goal :) ) I'll be doing more recycled yarn idea videos soon :)
Ya, my state made plastic shopping bags 10 cents each a few years ago
Soooo many items come to mind (for upcycling)! All types of bags, clothing, sheets/bedding, curtains, table clothes, thrift store fabrics, old neckties (RELLY FUN ONE!), even socks and tights! Anything that has flex, I’m thinking! Looking forward to this series and hoping you GO EASY on your wrist! ☺️🫶🏻🧶🌻
Omg I hadn’t though if neck ties!!!! Or socks or tights! I want to do t shirts like you know how thrift stores always have old corporate t shirts like shirts made for one event like a marathon or bachelorette party? Those so often end up in landfills I feel like I could make so much yarn with them!
Making yarn out of strips of off cuts from fabrics or just general fabric scraps is great. I made an entire jumper dress with it and loved the upcycled look. 😊
i have SO MUCh scrap fabric from joanns i dont even sew (yet) but I can't resist their remnants section LOL maybe i should make yarn!
plarn is waterproof, good for the planet and versatile?! what can't it do?!
RIGHT!?!? We Stan plarn
What if you made an outfit out of plarn or at least a rain hat/ coat?🤔
Happy Earth Day and Happy Birthday to Tilly!! The live was such a fun vibe❤
Also, My Father says Tilly is the cutest😊
Awe tell your father Tilly says hiiiiii!
@HollyAuna Hes very happy and says hi back❤
*cries in Canadian* Would never be able to do this because Canada banned plastic bags like these years ago. We have to use terrible reusable bags that are still made of plastic material that aren't the greates material. It is a neat idea though.
That’s honestly incredible for the environment!!!! You can still make other recycled yarn tho! I’m planning on doing a video about tshirt yarn soon!
I loved it! Thank you for doing your part to helping our environment! ( I saw Tilly in the backround so cute!) Happy Earth Day and Happy Birthday Tilly!!!🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂
Looking forward to making this a series seeing what other types of recycled yarn we can make! Awe Tilly is so cute one of the times she was in the background I didn’t even see until I had posted the video 😂
Thank you for the information and doing your part! It turned out so cute.
awe thank you! and thank you for watching!
Hi holly auna i just wanted to say that you’ve changed my life i love crocheting and i have been very stressed and overwhelmed for the last 2 months so I’m glad to be back watching you and crocheting i really need to catch up on my temperature blanket❤❤❤
Happy Earth day!!🌍 And l think a series about upcycling things would be so FUN!! Soda tab bracelets would be cute❤❤❤
happy earth day! i did a few little pop tab chain mail projects!!! th-cam.com/video/V7e5mTtiSz4/w-d-xo.html
Thx:)) I wish I could be there for Monday’s live
This was my first time watching a Live stream LIVE. Thank you for making it a fun and welcoming experience for me ❤.
Omgosh we are so excited to have you in the sunflower family! 🌻🌻
Happy earth day! 🌍
Happy earth day!
omgg its soooo easy THANK YOU FOR THE IDEAs
Awe thanks for the sweet comment let me know if you try it!
Blah
I love your channel
Awe thank you for watching and commenting!!!
I remember the first video you made about plarn! I love this idea! ❤️
Yes!!!! This is plarn 2.0 lol or I guess really maybe 3.0? I think the first time I made a video about plarn was in 2019 on TikTok 😂
You could make a lot of granny squares and make a cool sweater!
i wonder how a plarn outfit would feel i feel liek it might bug me but it also might be SO COOL lol
@@HollyAuna Yes same! But u could wear a tank top underneath. I just thought it would be so cool and unique!! And imagine it with the purse!!😃
I've seen a few craft books that teach you how to turn dog or cat hair into yarn! Unfortunately, I didn't remember the titles, but I'm sure they wouldn't be hard to find.
Omg don’t tempt me I’ll be saving Tilly’s hair 😂
I loved the bag you made it looks amazing❤.I think you should try to make hair bands into yarn to make something with. It would be great because of how stretchy it is🧶
omgosh hair band yarn would be WILD!
several years ago I heard of a group who used plarn to crochet sleeping mats to distribute to homeless people. The idea was for a mat that was light weight and could be easily carried around that would also help them stay above the wet grass or ground and dry faster than a cloth mat.
So cool to watch you❤❤
Awe 💖
Finally, a use for my bag of bags!
Right!? And so much fun
Amazing for earth 🌎 day thanks ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Happy earth day!!!
Such a cute idea i am trying it out
It would be so fun to make a plarn cake!
I can see you using that purse at a renfair… and it is really cute!
Absolutely will be bringing it to a renfaire. Omg maybe I should make a trash fit…like a full outfit of repurposed stuff somehow
@@HollyAuna that would be so cute!
HAPPY PLANET EARTH
HAPPY EARTH DAY
Happy earth day
Happy earth day!
I don’t know how my grandma did it 😂 but she used hers dogs fur the he shed and made yarn 🧶 softest blanket ever!😊
WHAT! i wonder if it works for cat hair should i start saving tilly's hair lol
I love this vid sm happy earth day!!!!!!! 🌎 btw how do you change Alexa’s name? ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
HAPPY EARTH DAY! and I believe it’s in the Alexa app on your phone!
@@HollyAuna thank you!!!!!!
Was the music on the video the music you were talking about? Love your outfit too cute 😍
The tortured poets department is taylor swifts new album and I hadn’t listened to it yet lol
And thanks!
What are your top five songs on TTPD 👇
Thank you aIMee, but daddy i love him, i can do it with a broken heart, down bad and who's afraid of little old me
the tortured poet's department, but daddy i love him, who's afraid of little old me, florida!!! and i can do it with a broken heart!
Love this idea, but we don't get these bags anymore here in Belgium. Could you do this with the thicker bags you have to pay for when you forget to bring your own bag?
Bonus points if you count how many time Tilly pop up in the video 😂😻
Not many, imo the album kinda decepcionated me:-(
Before, i looked at the cover and thought "oh taylor is experimenting with something new and darker" but now that i have heard it, it sounds like a sound she has recicled over and over again.
Sry, no hate😅 i don't hate taylor. I actually like midnights (the great war 😘) and 1989❤, but she ain't my favourite bc personally there are ssssooo many artists that could be more valuable when it comes to their sounds if they were the ones up there, instead of her. Like, they could be more refreshing for the industry, yk what i mean?
@@inescosta2671I get that ❤ not every album is for everyone, like midnights and 1989 are my least fav albums of hers (but I still enjoy them a lot!) I think TTPD is more for the evermore and folklore girlies (which are my personal faves) ❤❤❤ what is your favorite taylor song overall???? I love hearing what people’s favorite songs are!
1…
@@XxCJOxX nope 👀
@@HollyAuna dang….. more than one!
If you cut the bag in an open slit down the side (after top and tiling it) and then fold it in half, cut it on alternating sides almost all the way through and you'll have one giant loop.Then just cut that loop and you have one long strand.
Look up: walk through one sheet of paper trick, for cutting instructions
Brilliant love this!
Can you use any plastic bag like a thick one
T-shirts are fun
I absolutely want to try t shirt yarn!
this is so fun! i’m doing something similar but using hand dyed t- shirts instead. i’m making a turtle and each stitch represents 300 turtles that have died due to trash ingestion.
wow that is amazing! also so sad but thank you for making the yarn that is so special
I need a tutorial for that acorn/mushroom necklace
3:59 only swifties know what taylor said😂😂
There’s a lady in my Grandma’s retirement village in Florida that makes sunhats and bucket hats from plarn for use in the pool during water arobics
Omgosh for swimming that’s brilliant
Mine best song is why am I like this song
I don’t think I know that song???
I live in NY and plastic bags have been banned in chain stores here so…….wont be doing this BUT I love the idea!
Omgosh that’s amazing tho!!!! Main goal is to just keep more plastic out of landfills so that’s great 💖 I’ll be doing more videos on more recycled yarn ideas too!
Wow cool.

Speak now: innocent/never grow up (i cant choose)
Red: begin again
1989: i think out of the woods (not my favorite album but still a jam)

sidenote: folklore/evermore are my favorite albums as a whole but im not sure about my favorite songs on them, off the top of my head i think exile and tolerate it
midnights wasn't my fav i haven't listened to it too much so i need to listen to it more but i think snow on the beach is my favorite
and off of TTPD black dog :)
imagine living in Nashville Tennessee while liking taylor 😭
Could you double or triple strand with like some medium weight acrylic? I feel like that might look good as a basket or something. What do you think?
Mixing the plarn with yarn!? I want to try this now 😻
Sorry if you've already had this message - there is a way to make 'continuous' plarn, which doesn't require you to knot it together. You get a continuous ball from one bag. There are a bunch on videos on here about it.
I’ve seen people do that it’s so cool! For me personally with my bags they were too thin to use with just the one string they kept breaking lol
You could make old clothing into yarn.
Absolutely on my list!
how do you change your Alexa's name?
I believe it’s in the Alexa app!
Eu por acaso, há alguns anos, fui a um workshop em que aprendi a fazer uma mala pequena para o telemóvel (era um android 5 portanto era mesmo pequeno😂) com tiras de sacos de plástico usando um tear de madeira. Um tear é uma espécie de máquina de madeira que pode ter entre 200 a 20 anos, se calhar 🤷♀️, que se usava muito cá em portugal para fazer roupas muito antes dos pronto-a-vestir aparecerem :-)
É uma memória que nunca vou esquecer❤
Porém, infelizmente perdi o saco 😢
Uau, que incrível que você fez isso! Lamento que você tenha perdido a bolsa, mas estou feliz que você tenha as lembranças.
E lamento falar apenas um pouquinho de português, então peço desculpas por usar o Google Translate. lol
You should make a
I mean, i know it's good for recycling and not ending up in another trash hole, but would plastic really be that viable as a material for clothing and accessories? No malice, just curious! I haven't actually watched the video yet so if it gets answered in it sorry :)
The things I’ve seen people use it for most are 1. ironically shopping bags lol 😂 basically just making big reusable shopping totes and it can take a few hundred to make a big tote. 2. mats for unhoused people because it is water proof 3. Bucket hats! I haven’t personally but I’ve seen a lot to people make them and then lastly I like it for things like little baskets because it’s sturdy and wafer proof I have a little basket in my kitchen :)
Oh and someone in the comments suggested a plant hanger for outside! I crochet plant hangers with jute but if I used plastic it would be water proof!
Heh, you can't get bags like that anymore here, but I watched anyway!
That’s awesome tho! And thank you for still watching 🌻💖
@@HollyAuna it is pretty great, I don't always remember the bags but most of the time I do!
you coud make yarn from old shirts
absolutely on the list!!!!
The she said what is so real
😂 had me shook
You are dressing cottage core or cottage fantasy core.
Sheeee was a fairyyyyy
Who else does nlt use patterns too like its confusing😂😅
Meeee lol
I want to make plastic yarn but my bags are not all the same and are too thick 😢❤
I feel like target bags are my favorite thickness of bag. But I know what you means sometimes it can be weird when they change thicknesses. If you ask friends and family to save their bags for you, I think eventually you will have enough of each size to make plarn
Thank you so much Holly 💓
Ok
