Smart Paper Bag Storage Bins
I am an active Campaigner for Eco-friendly Living and Products. Most of the products i buy are either recyclable or made from post consumer items, and they come home in paper bags. And so my house has a good collection of paper bags from different stores. They were piling up so high that i started hunting for ideas to reuse these bags. And Lo, i finally found a good way to use them beautifully as storage bins, instead of buying plastic bins.
I started folding two paper bags one in another, from the top...for deep bins, i folded only once, for shallow bins, i folded twice, inside out. This way we can hide the prints too. And then cut hard drawing paper in good shapes to make them as labels. After these labels were pasted to these bins, they looked stunning. And here are some pictures for your idea. Initially, i made just 3-4 bins for my coat closet to store socks and winter gloves, but i am determined to make some more for my pantry storage.
