Seasonal Sunday: Upcycle Those Plastic Bags

So you switched to reusable grocery bags and you love them.  Now what to do with all those plastic bags you have stuffed under the sink?  
Here are some ideas to reuse or upcycle them:


*Reuse them for shopping bags

*Tuck one in your purse or backpack and use it when you forget your reusable bag

*Use them in your small garbage cans 

*Bring them along for dog walks to use for poop duty

*Crochet them into a basket, tote, or bag

*Wrap ornaments and decorations with them

*Use them as packaging material with for mailing packages, moving, or storage

*Bring one with for swimming and put your wet suit in it

*Crochet them into a flower pot

*Use them to stuff your outdoor pillows

*Use one to line the paint tray when rolling paint

*Weave one into a jump rope for the kids

*Help your kids make a kite


Pinterest has instructions on how to turn plastic bags into "plarn."  You can make anything with plarn that you can make with yarn.  Good luck!
