It is made entirely out of plastic bags! I transformed some bags into plarn (plastic yarn) and knit them into a long rope. The other plastic bags were fused together and cut into flags.
There is one more photo on my flickr showing the entire rope of flags. I think these would make excellent decorations for an Earth Day party. Do people have parties for Earth Day? They should.
If you are interested in making something from plastic bags here are some tutorials.

Here is a link to another one of my fused plastic projects: Fused Plastic Envelopes.
I would have an earth day party with you.
