We love that!
I did this with old T-shirts to make a plaited dog rope toy. He savaged it so it wasn't worth the effort but now I have no idea what to with the T-arn (I made that up)
Wouldn't it be simpler to just cut a spiral around the bag like the stripes of a barber pole and end up with straight ribbon? It's a lot simpler and you can make invisible splices to make your projects nicer. I find it is easier than the method you are using.

Absolutely! That's another great method, it might just be a little more difficult to keep the size of the strip consistent ❤
Awesome tutorial! It would be nice if you could also link all of Libby's social media, so we can all follow her as well! I love upcycling and recycling ideas which can be combined with my favorite craft!
