Storage for plastic bags

debjam

I am wondering if anyone knows of a template for a storage sleeve for keeping plastic bags in.

I have them all crammed in a box in the corner of my Dining Room at the moment and have seen these sleeves around but wondered if there was a template anywhere to make one. I have some spare material I could use.

Thanks for the help.

Hi debjam,

It's not a template but this website suggests cutting the sleeve of and old shirt and hemming each end with thin elastic.

thanks for that it has given me an idea of what I can do. My husband is always moaning about long sleeves on his shirts so he may now have some short sleeved shirts.

just cut a rectangle of fabric just over the lenght and width you want your bag store to be, hem each end, sew stretched elastic about 2 inches in from each end, then sew right side out all along the long side, turn the right was out and add a loop at one end to hang up with and hey presto bag store thingy!!

I use an empty tissue box to store my small plastic bags. They don't last that long, but usually they hold up until the next box becomes available

Empty pringles tubes are great I can get about 12 carrier bags in one and they just fit nicely in my drawer.

Just as a thought, some of the supermarkets have large containers to recyle them in. Maybe just keep some and recylcle the rest? I also give some to charity shops when I am passing them.
