TISSUE + BABY WIPE BOX BAG DISPENSER --- RECYCLE + REUSE!

Earth Day is this weekend, I wanted to share with you some of the ways we re-use / recycle in our home.


Most of the time we do use our cloth tote bags, however there are times I forget them at home by my front door! It's OK because we do use those grocery plastic bags for our bathroom garbage cans. I was folding the bags and storing them underneath my kitchen sink but it got messy. Here is my solution.

 
Using an empty tissue box, just place the bags in the box and pull them out like tissues when needed!
OR an empty baby wipe box, I had my kids decorate it and do the same thing place the bags in the box and pull them out as you would a baby wipe when needed.

The tissue box I leave upstairs and the baby wipe box under my kitchen sink.
Solves the problem of messes plus makes a great dispenser!

  9. This is a great idea! I love the reuse aspect! We have a holder for our bags but I would love to have some others around the house and this would be the perfect solution!
