Recycle your plastic grocery bags into a dog leash

"How to turn those pesky plastic grocery bags that seem to pile up into a cool dog leash and also help keep plastic bags out of our landfills, one dog at a time!"
You don't have to own a dog to make these, just donate what you make to your local animal shelter or dog rescue. You can make this a class project then let the kids donate what the've made to their local animal shelter or dog rescue, I'm sure they would love them for it!

Can you make a dog collar out of these plastic bags?

[freefallun]

@mariare0 Yes, you could if you wanted to, don't know how the dog would feel about it. I think I would try to make one out of yarn as that might feel better on the dog's neck. :)

If you make one send me a picture please! I shattered my hand and can't make much of anything anymore.

Thanks for taking the time to put this video together. It's a great concept!!!!! I really appreciate your efforts!

@Harmony0102 Thank you Harmony for your kind words!

@AmericanPitBulls, about your question, depends where are you located?? I've shattered my left hand a few months ago, but will be happy to try and make you a leash, it will just take me longer. :)

I've never tried to braid the plastic bags.... I think though that this square knot would be much tighter and stronger even for a 6 lb Chihuahua. :) Works great on my 12 lb Min Pin.

My friend made one for her horse and has been using it for a couple of years now, she loves it. Be sure to watch my video on how to make this leash with out any glue!

Thanks for watching!
