How to Make Sleeping Mats for the Homeless

This is the video to go with yesterday's post, Plarn Balls. . . . .




I do not know how to crochet.  I just make the plarn balls and give them to the people at our Community Action Center.  The women there are crocheters.  If you do not crochet either, you could just make the plarn balls and find crocheters to do the rest.  I bet there are a lot of older women in the church who crochet and this might give them a ministry to be a part of. . .just a thought :)

Happy plarning everyone!

    Thank you for sharing this video! I don't crochet either, but I'm sure there are ladies in the church who would LOVE to be a part of this ministry. Many blessings, Kristen!

    Thank you! I've only used a crochet circle loom, but maybe I could try this!

    Please remember girls, if you don't crochet, that's all right. The ones who do crochet the mats spend a LOT of time doing just that part, so it is SO helpful if others can make the plarn for them. ANYONE can make plarn :)
