Organize Your Closet with Plastic Bag Pockets
If you have a cluttered room, then this craft might help you and your messy room situation. Get some plastic bags and a long, closet-door sized piece of cardboard (slightly smaller than the door so you can still close it). Attach large plastic bags to the cardboard either opening on the right or on the top, depending on what you are using these organizational pockets for. If you are organizing bigger items...opening on the right might work for you...for smaller items, attach the bags to the cardboard to open up at the top. Then attach the cardboard to the door by putting 2 holes at the top of the door and hanging it there with hooks.
How to Make Plastic Bag Beanies
(Never Put Plastic Bags Over Your Face - This is only for kids old enough to know not to do this) You will need 1 plain plastic bag (such as fruits and vegetables come in) large enough to fit on head, a 12" length of colored yarn string or ribbon, small pieces of felt, household glue, and scissors Now, cut out small decorations from assorted colors of felt. Fold up open end of plastic bag once or twice to form beanie cuff. (Number of folds 'will depend upon length of bag. Try beanie on head to get right size.) Glue inside top edge of cuff to bag. Gather closed end of bag with ribbon or yarn. Wrap around gathers several times and tie securely. Glue on felt decorations. When dry, beanie is ready to wear.
Make Bike Streamers with Plastic Bags and Drinking Straws
Want a spiffy bike with great bike handle streamers blowing in the wind? Here is a way to decorate your bike for free and they turn out awesome! Find various colored plastic grocery bags. Use a scissor to cut strips from the bag that are approximately 20" x 1/2 ". Cut 10 of these strips for each streamer...when you are done you will have 20 streamers. If you want the same amount of strips for each color, then cut 6-8 strips from each plastic bag color. Next, take 10 strips (various colors) and then put them in a straw, (pic 2 above). Fold the straw in 1/2 and tape together at the end (pic 3 above). You might want to get colorful duct tape...in white, red, or blue and then tape the straw nicely to the handle. Your bike is going to look gorgeous!!! Have fun!
