sorry, no photo--it just looks like a beach tote; I started with a simple chain that wound up at center bottom, then crocheted the only stitch I know (I think it's double crochet, but single would work) around and around until the bag was a good size. I would recommend adding something that doesn't stretch when crocheting the handle.

Uh, ever left one out in the sun? Takes only weeks to start to fall apart.
However, I do think it's better to reuse sturdy bags than to discard flimsy ones.
I did crochet a tote from plastic grocery bags, and it's held up well for about 4 years. Cut LOTS of bags into rings, loop the rings together into a long "yarn", and crochet with the largest hook you can find.
Fabulous! I know how to crochet, any chance of you posting a link to a photo? I'd love to make one for myself!
