How to Make a Plastic Bag Storage Holder from a Kitchen Towel

The plastic bags we get from the grocery store are always useful for reuse as trash bags for bathrooms, or small trashcans, or for containing the chicken guts when making dinner, but trying to organize those bags is not always easy. This is a simple way to make a holder for those bags, making it that much more easy to reuse those bags.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• One kitchen towel
• Thread and needle
• Rubber bands

1. Take your kitchen towel and fold it in half horizontally.

2. Sew a straight seem up the side to make it a cylinder either by hand, on the sewing machine, or if you do not want it to be permanent, you can enclose it using safety pins.

3. Bunch one end up loosely and secure with the rubber band.

4. Attach another rubber band at the other end as a loop to use as a hanger.

5. Fill the towel holder with the plastic bags until full. Start to pull the first one out the end with the rubber band just slightly so its barely sticking out.

6. Hang the holder in a convenient spot, such as a pantry or closet in the kitchen. Everytime you need a bag, just pull from the end with the rubber band and one will come out and start to thread the next.

7. For a smaller version of the same concept, you can fill an old baby wipe container with the bags rolled up and stick the first one through the top and begin to pull it out and keep in the bathroom for trash bags.
