Bag dispenser
I recently found a woman who made a plastic bag dispenser out of a Lysol wipe container. I have a thousand plastic bags from the grocery store that just take up space in my laundry room. I didn't have an empty Lysol container so I used what I had, an empty soda bottle from Thanksgiving. With some craft glue and scrap fabric, my laundry room looks a little cleaner and I have more space to fold it.
Cut the bottom off of the bottle.
I took 3 strips of fabric and braided it to make a strap for hanging the dispenser.
I cut holes and tied it on.
I cut a piece of fabric to cover the bottle and the holes. It just looks prettier.
Flatten the bag pushing all of the air out of it.
Fold in half and flatten again.
Line them up over lapping the handles of the bag on the bottom of the next bag.
Fold the handles of the first bag up and roll them tight. For a 2 liter bottle I could fit 20 bags.
Drop in the bottle.
Hang where you want!
I love this and my husband loves that the bags are no longer taking up as much space.
I am working on getting an empty Lysol container as well. It would be great to drop in the diaper bag or car for whatever you may need them for. (You never know what situation you will find yourself in with a baby.)
Here is the link for the Lysol one. http://tatertotsandjello.com/2011/07/summer-social-guest-project-make_21.html
