How I Organized My Grocery Bags


This worked out so well for all those grocery bags that I knew once I threw away...Id need. The objective: take your grocery bags & roll them together & put them into a container so they come out like wipes. Here's how:

What you will need:
-used coffee can
-used grocery bags

Step 1:  Take one grocery bag, and lay it flat on the floor & push all the air out. Fold it in half "hotdog style" & pull the handles to one side so they poke out. This will be your middle bag in your roll of "wipes" so you want to be able to see them poking out from the roll.

Step 2: Do the same with about 15 more bags-but you dont have to pull out the handles on these, just on the first one. Overlap the bags a bit so that when you roll them, they roll up together.

Step 3: Roll the bags from the first bag (the one with the handles out) to the last bag. Youre going to want your bag with the handles out in the middle.

Step 4: Place the rolled grocery bags inside a coffee can & cut an X in the lid. Pull the handles of the middle bag through the X.

Step 5: Peel off the paper & decorate as you wish!  Ta-Dahhh! Awesomness in a can!

You can also do a mini version of this one with an old wipes container to keep in your car!
