How to Make a Plastic Bag Organizer?
When we go shopping for groceries, we take our plastic bags and place them into another plastic bag when we get home. We re-use these plastic bags as trash can liners and other things. The problem is that the plastic bag holding all these plastic bags is usually hung in a cupboard, and elsewhere, getting bulkier as we stuff even more plastic bags in it. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to organize these plastic bags into a more convenient container? The following steps are going to show you how you can make your own plastic bag organizer. Step 1: You will need the following items. • An empty disinfectant wipes container. • Your plastic bags • Scrap book paper, or gift wrapping paper. Step 2: Remove the top from the disinfectant wipes container. Step 3: Clean out any residue inside the disinfectant wipes container, and remove the label from the container. Step 4: Take your plastic bags and put them inside the container. Step 5: Pull one of the plastic bags part way through the opening on the lid of the container. Step 6: Place lid back onto container and close flap. Step 7: Using the scrap book paper or the gift wrapping paper, wrap the container with the paper and glue into place. Add whatever other decorations you want such as bows, ribbons, etc. You now have a convenient, cost-effective storage container for your plastic bags. You can use several disinfectant containers to make these plastic bag organizers for your office, and even keep one in your car. Not only are you recycling the plastic bags from the grocery store, but you are also reusing the plastic containers the disinfectant wipes came in, therefore reducing the amount of waste in our landfills.
