Hey everyone! This is such a great idea, cannot wait!
I'm looking around for some electronic parts- calculators, watches, remotes, computer parts, clocks, anything!
I'm also always looking for any plarn, tshirt yarn, or any other ribbon like upcycled goodies.

I would love to have your woven plastic pet food bags! This is sometimes marketed as duraweave or polyweave. Examples are cat food, cat litter, dog food, bird seed, livestock food, and bulk food bags.

I am looking for old, broken, or unwanted crayons. Katie, If you are in need of crayons at this time of the year it would be a problem for me to collect but if you can wait until the end of school year I can help you. I work at a school and around May I can collect all the crayons instead of throwing them away. Send me a message and we can discuss the details.

I am looking for plastic bags, preferably colors other than tan and white. Specifically ones that are the same texture and thickness of grocery store bags. Please No newspaper bags, drycleaning bags, or thick texture bags (think Macys) and from non smoking households only. These are for making plarn.
I usually have plenty of tan and white because my extended family shops at Kroger and Safeway (Could some Albertsons though). But some other ones that are pretty available are: -Grocery Outlet-yellow -Kohls and Lowes- grey -Liquor Store-black -Home Depot and Sunflower Market- dark tan
Many boutiques carry colorful bags as well, I don't mind if they are the perforated style. Thanks to anyone who can send me some!

Excuse my ignorance, but plarn is kinda like yarn right? I'll be in the lookout for bags since the Dollar store have the yellow kind and I might be able to get some for you. There's only one problem, the non smoking households only. No one smokes inside the house or when I'm close to picking up the groceries. Would that be a problem? Let me know.
