Recycling project

I suppose this is probably more of a repurposing project and it is a recycling. The point is though, I used things that were destined for the trash can. First I took a bunch of plastic grocery bags.

 
I flattened them out, folded them and then rolled them all up together

 
Then I took an empty wipe container 
I covered it with some vinyl 
 then I dropped the role of grocery bags into the container and now I have a handy dandy dispenser 
I got this idea from Purple Hues and me. I don't know if it was because I didn't roll the bags right or what, but when pulling the bags out from the center of the roll they don't pull out real easy.

It is very cool, and now the bags are also partially disinfected as well!

It's a good idea, I'm sorry it didn't work perfectly.

Great idea tho it didn't work the first time...keep trying.

Ann, this idea is wonderful!! Even if the bags don't pull out perfectly, what a great way to store those bags. I'm definitely going to try this. I use those bags for the little garbage can in both my kitchen and bathroom. I now keep them inside another bag, hanging off the door knob of my laundry room. I like your idea MUCH better! ~Andrea xoxo

i have seen in the past a few things for dispensing bags but not this one..if you figure it out let us know, i would use one and not decorate it since it would live under the bathroom sink... i get aggravated keeping them in another bag. we use them for pool bags and for small trash can liners

I wonder if there is a trick to rolling them correctly? It's a good idea though.

AWESOME idea, Ann! I used an empty tissue box and it makes things so much easier as well...jp

I'm always looking for a good way to corral those pesky plastic bags. This is a great idea.

Rose said...

It is a good idea...I use so many of them. I use them in the little trashcans throughout the house. would be nice to have two or three dispensers throughout the house for easy access.

That's a nifty idea! Well done!

We have a bag holder bolted to the wall we got at IKEA a long time ago! With 3 cats we go through those bags a lot!
