It takes 500-700 plastic bags to
complete a sleeping mat that measures 6 feet by 2
.5 feet. These are very useful items for people wh
o must sleep on the ground. Come and get s
tarted this month!
\n
\n - Bring clean and dry
plastic grocery bags to any events you a
ttend at the Humanist Community Center. The bags w
e can use are the ones you get a the grocery store
check out.
\n - Make plarn
(plastic yarn) from plastic bags. This is an easy
first step in starting a mat and anyone can do it
\, even if you don't want to crochet! You can make
balls of plarn with the group or at home and pass
them along to the people who crochet.
\n -
Crochet the plarn into ma
ts. Using a 10mm or 11mm crochet hook is
recommended for this project\, so if you have one\
, please bring it along! Hooks are available to us
e or purchase for those who don't have one. If any
previous class attendees have finished or partial
ly done mats\, please bring them to drop off or co
ntinue working on.
\n
\n
Ask about other fabric craft activities\, such as
heat relief bandanas and water bottle koozies\, th
at you can learn to make too! You can even make a
plarn mat using a weaving loom!
\n
Families are encouraged to attend! Children can contribute to the project by le
arning and working as a team with their grownups.<
/p>\n The completed mats and other
projects\, along with hygiene items and needed es
sentials\, are donated to the Human Services Campu
s every month. Thank you for giving to our
neighbors in need.
\n Here is a video explaining the
project from beginning to end.
\n There are different ways to hold the croch
et hook and different stiches you can use. It's ju
st a matter of comfort and control. If you are lea
rning to crochet\, many videos are available to ge
t you started. You can also learn several differen
t techniques from the teachers in the group. We look forward to seeing you there!
