Thank you! I can't begin to tell you how confused I was about this. lol

@CheshireKhat1 Glad I could help. There's actually a better way of doing this. Please visit my web page. When you get there, type plarn into the search box upper right of the site and I have a video listed with a much better method. I think I'm going to link my video here to the other video made by another person, if I can link it, that is.

@rigidheddleweaving Thanks - I'll do that.

COOL !

Good thinking! Reusing what's already been man-made is wonderful, and yet:

Do your best to consume as little plastic as possible. Our children and our future lives will still have a lot of clean up, and heal.

Eating mostly raw foods helps not only your body and mind and intelligence, but also the environment - you can just get veggies, even as they are from mother, not wrapped in any poisonous plastic. You make a difference, so find love in your heart and it will return to you hundredfold.

Cool technique! I love videos that show how to repurpose things that are normally thrown away. I try to include some sort of recycling or repurposing into every project. Thanks for sharing. Tim :0)

Thanks so much for the great "how to." I've always wondered how this was done!

[rigidheddleweaving]

@LAvila311 Hey thanks! I hope you visit my site to see what kinds of things you can do with it. There's an even better way to make it. It's similar to this except you slide your arm into the uncut portion and then cut on the diagonal, you can see it here youtube.com/watch?v=ESQbELunPZ­g

@LAvila311

Glad you found out how..but for anyone else, you just lay the uncut part either on your arm by slipping your arm thru the "tube" or lay the uncut part flat on the table like done here. Then following the first slit at the bottom, move scissors *to the ouside edge from that point* and cut inwards towards the first top slit. This makes a diagonal cut and one continuous strip.
