Meet your new chaotic cabinet companion — the Crochet Opossum Bag Holder & Dispenser!

Because let’s be honest — your plastic bags deserve to live inside a slightly unhinged marsupial with tiny toes and a dramatic open mouth.

This delightfully derpy opossum is worked in the round from tail to snout, complete with color changes for that classic gray-and-white look, a bag-dispensing belly opening, and an expressive upper and lower jaw — yes, it has lips, and you get to choose pink or white!
