Vcr Tape Ribbon Tote

September 28, 2007 15 comments

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.
