Vcr Tape Ribbon Tote

Do you have some old vcr tapes wasting away around the house? Well crochet yourself a recycled tote bag using those old tapes. This bag was crocheted from vcr tape and Lion Brand ribbon yarn. I made this tote bag for a co-worker for Christmas after she saw a prior bag I crafted and really wanted one. So I got busy and crocheted this tote for her for the upcoming Christmas gift exchange.

If you are new to crocheting with vcr tape here is the link for using vcr tape as yarn. It is a great way to recycle those old vcr vhs tapes into a wonderful reusable product.
