The Coolest Creative Uses For Those Plastic Bags

As Seen on KDKA!

September 5, 2013

Plastic bags come in all shapes and sizes! Not all are created equal but ALL are a staple in most houses.  We went on a search for some super creative ways to use these plastic bags and we’re sure you’re going to love them! 

There’s something for EVERYONE! 


Organization:
Neat freaks unite.  Look what we found!

Need a way to display Junior’s, massive, never ending amounts of art projects?  Create an art quilt out of plastic bags and duct tape.  It’s genius. You might have neighbors dropping by to look at your new art gallery.  Charge admission and it’s a win win!



TIPS:  Any large bags will do but just make sure you’re putting the duct tape on the correct side so the logo isn’t showing over the art work… NOT that I did this!
*Another great tip is to punch holes in the top with a hole punch and use removable 3M Command hooks to hang this on any empty wall. This project can be as little or big as your wall and imagination will accommodate!
*You can follow this same process and use these with dry erase markers and turn into a fun white board!

Barbie clothes are the bane of my existence. Using a binder, create a Barbie Fashion File or better yet, let your kids!   Neatly store it on a shelf and pray they never, ever, open a bag so that your play room remains clean.

Teachers have known this for years.  Ziploc bags can also make you smarter.  Yes this is true.  Okay maybe not but they can be made into a GREAT tool for your little ones!  This can be did with gallon or quart size and are great for taking in the car for a quick and fun way to review math facts!
