GOOD BYE BAG OF BAGGIES...

We ALL know at least one person(admit it you ARE THE person) to have a BAG full of other BAGS in your house! Yeah they're useful for everything from sorting ornaments for storage, to scooping litter, lining trashcans, these little annoying things are great for SO many things! BUT the storage of these things are what's a PAIN! I mean yes I did break down and buy one of those little metal bag holders to secure inside my cabinet in the kitchen but WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF THE HOUSE?! For awhile I was just stuffing my bags into the cleaning products caddy but it was messy and MORE annoying than the bag of bags.
So, I got to thinking and found that some people were using the sanitary wipes container to hold theirs. I gave it a try and it worked for a while but just stuffing them into the holder was AWFUL! You go to pull one and get THREE WHAT?! So got to researching more OCD ways of storing these things and found how to better store these. Hope you enjoy!

HOW TO ROLL BAGS TO COME OUT LIKE WIPES!

Grab Your Recently Emptied Container and a MessLoad of Bags
(As always my crafting includes a good cup of coffee...and my nosey cat)


Flatten Out A Bag

Fold The Bag In Half


Line Up All Of The Bags. You Need Them To Overlap About 2-3 Inches Every Time With Each "Handles End" Pointing In The Same Direction!


Begin with the "Handles End" and START ROLLING STEADILY


Continue Rolling KEEP THE ROLL STEADY but somewhat LOOSE! Remember it has to fit in the container and be easily pulled out like wipes. 


By Now you SHOULD have something resembling this.


Now you can place the roll in the container.


 Replace the lid. Pull handles from the middle up to the holder and close the Lid


NOW IT'S TIME TO DECORATE!!!
Materials: Mod Podge, One Large Piece of Scrapbook Paper, a Brush and a Marker


Place the container on the scrapbook paper and make a mark. Trim off the extra and sit aside. (You'll need it) Apply a generous amount of Mod Podge around the container and steadily apply the paper. Mod Podge doesn't dry slowly so if it isn't perfect don't worry you can easily slide it around.


PRETTY!!!


Not Pretty BOO!!! This is where the extra piece comes in. Trim the extra piece to fit with empty section.


TADA!!!


NOW all you need is a label! Ignore the chicken scratch! You could always print a label instead!



THAT'S IT!!! Hope ya'll enjoyed!
