Re-Purpose Plastic Bags

Earthsense

Plastic bags are ubiquitous in our society, so put your collection to good use with these easy ideas.  Of course you can get an extra use out a plastic bag by lining a trash can or picking up after you pet on your daily walk.  Are you planning to move?  Use plastic bags to wrap and protect your valuables.  Plastic bags are perfect for wrapping your plants on nights when frost threatens. 

Keep a stash of plastic bags on hand when you tackle your next paint project.  Bags are great for lining a paint tray or wrapping up your paint and roller so you can take a break without washing everything.  And if you’re interested in a faux paint finish or texture, many painting and glazing techniques can be achieved with a plastic bag.  Plastic bags are even good for craft projects.
