plastic bag mats 2Ordinary plastic grocery bags turned into sleeping mats for the homeless? Yes, you read that correctly.

Watch this video on how to do this at home. I suspect you will never look at those plastic bags in the same way.

Certainly in the category of “inventiveness unto infinity! Also another approach to recycling!

This obviously can be very useful in places like Africa.

    I love this plastic bag project. I think it would be a great project for not only women’s groups, but our young people. They will learn to crochet and help the homeless. Great idea because we are cleaning up the environment as well.

    Lynn, you summarize the reason I posted it. Such a brilliantly simple idea!

      With the supplies and know-how this is something the homeless could do for themselves. We could be helping them help themselves.
