Not sure of what to do with all of those plastic shopping bags you take home from the supermarket? Most supermarkets have a container out front for recycling. You can also use them to contain pet waste and line all your little trash bins. Personally, we prefer buying tote bags and reusing them, over creating more landfill.

Here are some other options for recycling plastic bags and keeping them from taking over your home:

Cut bags into thin strips and use them for knitting and crocheting
Ditto the thin strips for a colorful carryall
Make a wallet
Make a dress
Make a rain jacket
Make a shopping tote
Make a necklace
Fuse bags together to make a bag or other items
Make coasters
Make animals
Make a shopping bag
