Ever since a friend introduced me to Pinterest a few years ago I spend way to much time on there. Looking for ideas on organization, kids activities, birthday cake ideas, fitness tips and many other areas of life. I have really enjoyed the organization ideas that I have found on there. So, that is the purpose of this post. I got the original idea for this trash bag hold here. I took her idea and made it my own with what I had on hand and my final result was this What you will need to make this handy, small trash bag holder is…
- An empty cardboard box of any size you desire. I used an empty juice box because it was the perfect fit for what I wanted.
- Some scrap booking paper or any kind of paper with desired color/design
- Scotch tape or glue. I used tape because that is what I had
- Scissors
- Empty Walmart, Albertsons or target plastic shopping bags
- Thumb tack or other way to attach it to the wall. Or you can skip this part and leave it on a shelf.
- Some free time
I first gathered all of my materials.
Then I taped the paper to the box making sure to leave the opening for the trash bags.
Once I finished covering the box with paper I put the trash bags in the box.
Last I went into the bathroom, the room that needed a box of trash bags and found where I wanted to put it.
I would love to know what you do with your plastic shopping bags. Please tell me your ideas in the comments!
Great idea for the bags! 🙂 I have a wire “over-the-cupboard” hanger holder for my baggies. It works great in the kitchen, but I need something for upstairs when we have those dirty diapers that need a quick safe spot to land! LOL!

I finally invested in reusable ones so I don’t get as many but man, I think they multiply on their own…

I need to do this… I kind of shove all my bags into one bag and keep it in my laundry room, under my sink. I really should keep a stash in each bathroom. Yours turned out great! Looks pretty easy!

Neat idea. Mine get shoved in a cabinet. I’ve seen the triangle method…Yeah…mama doesn’t have that kind of time!

I have one shoved under my kitchen sink as well. I put the bathroom one out so my kids could get to it easier because one of my 5 yr olds chores is taking out the trash.

I knew a lady who folded them into little triangles. I don’t have the patience for that. It turned out cute.
