Improvised and Recycled Bag Handle

Now, technically this is not a Craft item, but then again, it is. There are so many times I need to squash something into a bag and parts of it poke up and make it very difficult to grab the loops of the handles. The item in this photo is not an afghan but it could very well be - it is a queen size blanket.

What I did was take another bag. I twist it to make it long and narrow. Then I loop it through the carrying bag's handles and tie a knot. This makes a very easy to use carrying handle.

It is soft and does not cut into the hands. It is very strong, amazingly so. And it's a way to use up another plastic bag, at least until it gets to its destination.

Enjoy.
