Turn plastic bags into sleep mats for the homeless

Join us this month to do it again. Learn how to make "plarn" (plastic yarn) to turn plastic bags into sleep mats for the homeless.

These crocheted or weaved mats are remarkably comfortable and offer just enough to create a barrier between the ground and the body, to help retain body heat while sleeping.

The mats are also a cleaner way of sleeping. Bugs don’t like them. And when dirty, they can be easily hosed off, shaken out and be good to go again.

You do not have to know how to crochet. We have am easier method of weaving for you to learn. If you want to learn the crochet method if you can bring a crochet needle size Q or N and scissors please do so.  MEETING IN ROOM D8
