As much as we actively avoid plastic, we always seem to end up with a supply of plastic bags that litter our home’s storage closet. You might wonder why we just don’t throw out all those plastic bags? We use them for everything from dog waste, to lining small trash cans, to carrying stuff from one place to another.
Trying to organize this stash of bags has been a maddening task – until recently. Thanks to Pinterest, we stumbled upon an ingenious tip that utilizes our love of up-cycling! Take your empty wipes container and cram into it about 20 bags for tidy safekeeping!
Tip: TR Dad discovered that it is necessary to remove the inner ring of the container, as it grabs and rips the bags as you try to loosen one out.
We made sure to label the repurposed wipes containers to avoid any confusion when searching through the closet for cleaning supplies. And now our storage closet has gone from the disarray of flimsy plastic bags getting in the way of everything, to slightly more organized. And in our busy TR household, every little bit helps!
