Harambee Gwassi Kenya: Plastic bag craft"Mstahimilivu hula mbivu" - "A patient man eats ripe fruits. The Patience will be rewarded" (Swahili proverb)

The yarn is derived from common plastic bags or condominium sacks, to help protect our environment by reusing materials that are difficult to dispose of!
For best results, it is necessary to obtain a single yarn from each bag: see the PDF Tutorial and video-tutorial.
