Squares woven out of coffee bags can be used to make all kinds of baskets and bags. Squaremill weaving combines square weaving and windmill weaving. 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!
For the weaving you need:
- empty coffee bags (at least 54)
- paper or cardboard
- a pen
- scissors
- clothespins or other clips
- durable wooden sticks or knitting needles
To join woven pieces, you need:
- string (e.g. gift wrapping string)
- a needle
- scissors
- ribbon for handles (2-2,5m)
I used 162 coffee bags for this bag.
Size of the strips: 15 x 7,2 cm
Width of the folded strip: ~2,4 cm
Size of the bag:
Height: ~ 27,5 cm
Base: ~ 15 x 30 cm

The ends of the cords are carefully melted with a lighter. Be careful not to burn them or anything else! Only plastic materials can be melted. If you use natural fibres such as cotton, it will burn and not melt.
