Turning Plastic Bags Into Mats for the Homeless

NBCUniversal, Inc.

Two dozen women call themselves the Bag Ladies and the Happy Hookers! They all meet at CC Young, a senior living facility in Dallas, to make mats for the homeless.

The mats are made entirely out of plastic bags. Our media partners at the Dallas Morning News say to make just one mat, it takes about 600 bags and more than 50 hours from start to finish.

So far, the group has given away 160 mats.
