Plastic Bag Holder

I found a cute way to recycle plastic bags, and it holds them too.  Hang it on a wall.  Put the bags in the top and pull out the bottom.

I have also seen some people that make "yarn" out of the bags.  They are making things like purses and belts.  Plastic "yarn" is hard to work with, it tears sooooo easy.  You really have to pay attention when you are pulling the plasitc thru the holes.  Not sure about using it like real yarn for a purse or belt, haven't done those.

Here are a couple of pics.




I did this project last year.  I am thinking of making something else with plastic bags.  I saved alot, and I do mean alot, of bags.

  1. That's really cute! A similar bag could be used as a lunch bag, too.

  3. What a cute way to save bags. I love that you wrote recycle on it,it is a good visual reminder. Definitely more stylish than what I wrote on our trash can lid with a marker: "STOP!, can you reycle or compost that?"
