Feed The Puppy Plastic Bag Holder
 Crochet Pattern
 By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

I designed this Plastic Bag Holder because I needed one!

Feed The Puppy - Stuff him with your plastic bags!

Isn't he Bright and Cute. Well, I am sure
 we all have plastic bags  from shopping, 
we do not want to throw them out, 
we want to reuse them. 
But where do we store them. 
In a bag holder, of course! 

This Bag holder is very stretchy and will 
hold bunches of them!
