This is how our clan (Lagoon) made our plastic bag basket.
Materials:
Approx 2 rolls of garbage bags
Sticky Tape
Needle
Thread
Spray Glue
Thimble
Scissors
PVA Glue
Method:
Step 1: Rip a plastic bag off the roll.
Step 2: Cut the handle and the bottom off the plastic bag.
Step 3: Open the bag up and lay it flat.
Step 4: Cut up one side of the bag so it is now one long strip.
Step 5: Cut strips off the long strip so it makes they make littler strips that are easier to plait there should be at least 5 or 6 each bag.
Step 6: Get three little strips put them together then tie a knot in the top.
Step 7: Hold the knot end with your mouth or get a friend to hold it for you. To plait get each outside strip then put it into the middle (different outside strip each time)
Step 8: Tie a knot at the bottom of your plait once you have done and cut off the excess plastic
Step 9: Repeat the plaits until you have finished 2 rolls of garbage bags.
Step 10: Tie all of your plaits into one long plait by sticky taping or knotting them together.
Step 11: Spiral the plaits around in a circle to make a basket shape.
Step 12: Sew your basket together.
Step 13: Spray or paint your basket with glue to keep it sticking together.
