you know my grandmother used to save every plastic bag she got and one day while visiting her she was cutting them all up in strips. Then she proceeded to start braiding them all, lots of different colors. Then she got some fishing line out and a fairly good size needle and to my suprise she was making door mats. She said these will last forever as you can just spray them off when they get dirty. I was amazed at how nice they looked. All it takes is IMAGINATION!! "had to share".
