Cute Plarn Snowman
Check out this cute plarn snowman which was crocheted from recycled plastic bags. This project is being shared here at my crafting blog with permission from Snowcatcher who is the creator of this adorable snowman. Here is the pattern link to the free crochet tutorial for the snowman project which includes the hat and scarf.
Snowcatcher even provides an option to make this cute little guy into a plastic bag keeper rather than just a decoration for Christmas. Anyway I just found this to be such a cute recycled crafting project and am thrilled to be able to share it with all my readers. Enjoy and Merry Christmas!
