We use paper bags every day. We receive them every time we shop, whether for groceries, clothes or industrial products. We use them in huge quantities. Fortunately, thinking and making choices have changed and we are increasingly choosing a paper bag rather than a plastic bag. Unfortunately, many of them are still used and thrown into the trash bin after one use. Which keeps our landfills full. In this article, we will advise you how to use a paper bag so that it will serve you for a long time.
For storage and organization
Unnecessary paper bags have many uses for tidying up and organizational work. You can keep large, clean paper bags and use them to clean and sort your wardrobe. Throw trouser belts into some, small handbags into others, scarves and scarves into others. In kitchen cabinets they can be used as a box for sorting dry goods and spice packages. We can cut them to the size of the drawer and store small items in them. This will keep your wardrobe tidy and clean.
Use the bags as intended
If we want to save on the use of a paper bag, we can use the product for the same purposes that we used for the first time. For example, when buying bread in a bakery, it will be packed in a paper bag. Don't throw it away, pack a sandwich for work or a roll for a snack. When buying a paper bag at the store, after bringing your purchases home, put it in the car and take it with you on your next shopping trip until it gets torn. Reusing packaging is very fashionable.
What to make from a used paper bag
A worn, torn, torn or crumpled bag can be used in many ways:
- To protect shipments during shipping, crumpled and cut as package filling, providing cushioning for the shipped product.
- Make an envelope from a piece of paper in which to wrap a handmade card or gift
- We can use damaged or used paper bags with an interesting pattern as gift packaging
- We can make interesting covers for potted plants from paper bags
- When wax stains clothes, ironing the stain through a piece of paper will effectively remove it
- It will be a great replacement for a garbage bag, separating dry recyclables
- A used paper bag is perfect for binding books and textbooks
- You can use a crumpled paper bag to store shoes; stuffing them with paper rolled into a ball will not deform them.
- Wrapping a gift
- Table pads
- Art material for children
Therefore, if you want to be eco-friendly and lead an environmentally beneficial lifestyle, you should reuse items as much as possible. The same applies to paper bags, of course - instead of throwing them away, we can reuse them with creativity and find new uses for them.
