Weaving a Basket from Coffee Bags

Squares, triangles and corners woven out of coffee bags can be used to make all kinds of baskets and bags. All you need to connect them is string (such as a gift wrapping string) and a needle or stick to thread the string through the hinges formed at the edges of the squares. Stunning bags and baskets woven out of coffee bags are unique, practical and durable. And of course a great way to recycle used coffee bags!

How do you manage to collect so many coffee pouches?

[@ruutupunontaa]

I have many coffee drinkers collect their bags for me. I don't drink coffee myself 😄 It is quite common in Finland that older people have collected coffee bags because coffee bag crafts are more popular among older women specifically. So many have collected coffee bags for years and want to get rid of them once they realise that they are not interested in using them themselves 😂 So sometimes I get hundreds of coffee bags from one person who has saved them for 20 years or then just a few at a time from friends that want to support my craft 😊
