Plarn is yarn made from plastic bags, like the ones you get when you buy groceries. It can be used in knitting and crocheting to make a number of useful products. One of these products is sandals. Emily Berezin is an Etsy print artist who holds a BFA in studio art from Carnegie Mellon University, with concentrations in sculpture and printmaking. She is also concerned with the environment and likes to explore new ways of doing things. These sandals are the result of one of Berezin’s explorations. Check out some other uses for plarn in the video above.  MAKE magazine had some cool links about crocheting big tote bags with old grocery bags (check out http://www.marloscrochetcorner.com/round plastic bag tote.html), and since I just learned to crochet, and I'm too cheap for yarn a college student, I started two different totes. Unfortunately, I ran out of the colors I wanted to use, and unwilling to wait for grocery day to get some more, I decided to do something small in one of the other colors I had.
