This summer I went to the Inver Grove Heights Community Center to make mats out of plastic bags. The mats are given to homeless people so they don’t have to sleep on the ground. It takes about 50 hours and 500 bags to make one mat and the group has made over 350 mats. I got to learn the process of how to sort and cut bags, crochet them and tie them. My favorite was cutting the bags and seeing what a finished mat looked like.
I got to take a huge group picture with everybody that was helping out. They were all so nice, especially JoAnn who gave us the history of how this started, taught me about the process and let me jump in to help. I hope to do it again. It was very fun.
