Make an Embellished Grocery Bag Container
Jen is my bloggy bestie.  We run The CSI Project together, Crafterminds, and we are doing a web show together in the fall.  Yet I have never guest posted on her blog.  I wanted to have the perfect project before I posted here.  Well that day of perfection will never come.

However, I did come to share with you a fun little gift to give yourself or a friend for the summer…an embellished grocery bag container. 

These are perfect to throw in a beach bag for wet suits.  They are also wonderful to have in your car for summer road trips.  Whatever you reuse plastic bags for having a container full of them looks a heck of a lot better than stuffed in a drawer.  Plus they are so much more portable this way.
Make an Embellished Grocery Bag Container
I figured out how to fold them so that they are interconnected and one bag comes out at a time but pulls the next one out a little.

make an embellished grocery bag container for your car - very handy!

Supplies:

12 plastic grocery bags (I used Target ones)

coordinating fabric

Empty wipe container

Fabric Mod Podge

Foam brush

Spray adhesive

scissors or rotary cutter

quilting ruler

1.  Grab a dozen bags and flatten them out pushing all the air out.

2.  Fold them in half again pressing all the air out.

3. Overlap the handles onto the top of the previous bag.  Do this for all 11 bags lining them all up into one big row.

4.  Fold the first bag’s handle upward.  This will be your middle and the first bag you pull out of the container.  All the other bags will be connected to this first one.

5.  Now tightly roll up your bags tucking in the new handles as you roll.

6.  After you roll up 12 bags you are ready to insert them into your wipes container.

7. Tuck the first bag’s handles through the top.  Now you are done.

Done?  What do you mean done? 
I can’t be at TT& J without embellishing right!? RIGHT!
8.  Cut out a piece of fabric roughly 8” x 10”.  With your foam brush “paint” Fabric Mod Podge onto the fabric.  The Mod Podge seals the edges and gives the fabric a durable water resistant surface.

9.  After it is dry cut it to size.  For one of the Lysol wipes containers I cut mine 7 1/8” x 10 3/8”.  Then glue it in place.  I use a spray adhesive because it is quick and easy.  Overlap the pieces one over another. Adorable and practical!

I LOVE IT!

    During your initial consultation (which should be free), ypur personal injury attorney will listen to
    the facts and circumstances surrounding your accident.
    to a study, most victims who sustained whiplash injuries will recover after a few weeks.
    So, hire California personal injury lawyer timely to ensre that you
    and your loved one can be adequately compensated for the damages that you have
    experienced.

    Cool ideas & bite size , I tend to loose interest fast!

  5. Shay says

    August 23, 2013 at 9:39 AM

    Is it just me…I can’t get all the air out of the bags to roll them perfectly. The smallest amount of air left in the sack creates troublesome bubbles that take up too much room. Any fixes because I love this concept.

  6. Collette says

    July 31, 2013 at 10:51 AM

    I tried doing this and after I put it in the canister and pulled the 1st one out, the next bag’s handle came out to so I had to stick it back down.

    Such great ideas, I’m glad I saw this today..

  8. Linda L says

    June 19, 2013 at 12:00 PM

    Great idea. All my wipe canisters are still full, sooooo I found an old water bottle that no one wanted anymore ( I have a zillion of these from over the years) and used that. It works perfectly! I did not decorate it but left it clear so I could see what was in there and how full it was! Thanks for the tip!

  9. Casondra says

    June 13, 2013 at 3:54 PM

    I found that if when you begin to roll up the handles of the next bag you stop and push the air out again and continue to do so with each following bag it’s really helpful!

  10. Stacey Q says

    May 5, 2013 at 11:03 AM

    the only problem I found is the air in the bags as I roll them. Makes it hard to get a good roll..

    • Marko says

      November 20, 2013 at 6:55 PM

      How about poking a little tiny hole in the bubble to let the air out?
      Most of these bags already have a small split and aren’t air tight, so one more little hole shouldn’t make a difference!
      Thanks for the tip!

    What a great idea…. Think ill cover a container in my favorite child print and give them to my girls to carry in their diaper bags to put dirty diapers in before they toss them in the trash can…. Love it!!!

    I think the rolled bags idea is wonderful. i usually roll min into triangles but this way you can have them in the car. good for my grandchildren

    March 16, 2013 at 9:19 PM

    I did a similar rendition thanks to your idea! Mine go longways and are in a Pampers Wipes container! I do have to laugh, my husband thought I had totally gone off the deep end flattening and rolling our old grocery bags!

    • Sylvia says

      April 12, 2013 at 1:25 PM

      Can u please tell me how to do that in a Pampers Wipes container?? 🙂 I can’t seem to figure it out, Im not understanding the longways part…

      • lizzie says

    I love your grocery bag idea! So pretty and definitely very useful!!

  24. MZ says

    February 3, 2013 at 10:33 PM

    This is so awsome. FINALLY I don’t have a drawer/cabinet full of bags, or one bag stuffed full of a million other bags. This is so much nicer, more organized, and aesthetically pleasing!

  25. Emily says

    January 31, 2013 at 10:04 AM

    Thank you for this post! What a great idea. I have dogs and we like to save grocery bags for their…well, you know… This would come in extremely helpful.

  26. Christina Schwarting says

    January 22, 2013 at 4:23 PM

    I loved this. I had a ton of extra bags so I pulled them all out, got them together and ended up with 9 rolls of these. When the roll on the container runs out I have 8 more ready in the drawer. It helps to put them in gallon zipper bags.

  27. Saundra says

    January 14, 2013 at 9:47 AM

    Thanks for this great idea. I just finish doing it and it works great. Now I am off to start decorating my decanter. This one will be for my kitchen. Next I am going to work on one for my car.

  28. Jackie says

    January 11, 2013 at 6:20 AM

    Stuff it with old newspaper and some unused coffee beans. That will take the scent out of any plastic. You have to let it sit several days, so be patient.

    December 24, 2012 at 12:25 PM

    I developed a method to reuse / recycle both a 105 count Clorox Wipes container in addition to a 32oz Dannon Yogurt container. This technique creates a sub-irrigated planter / pot. I’ve been testing this with good success:

    im so confused on step 3? please help asap!!

    • Cheryl says

      April 27, 2013 at 1:13 PM

      I am confused on this step as well…it looks like the bags are halved, and then two sets of them are put together to overlap each other? The instructions make it sound like you have to do that with all of the bags..

      • Cheryl says

        April 27, 2013 at 1:25 PM

        Aha. Just reread..oops. It is just the FIRST bag where the handle is rolled up…duh for me! 🙂

    Great ideas!! Thanks

  32. Denise says

    November 28, 2012 at 10:32 AM

    This is a great idea! How do you get rid of the Lysol smell in the container? I recycle all my old grocery bags and we use our when we go to the lake. We sometimes use old grocery bags to place fish in when we go fishing. Do not need the smell of Lysol on our fish. Thanks

    • Virginia says

      December 8, 2012 at 10:15 AM

      Run them through the dishwasher.

      • Denise says

        December 8, 2012 at 4:55 PM

        Sorry don’t have a dishwasher. I have tried to wash the container by hand but does not get rid of the Lysol smell. I was thinking of using vinegar to get rid of the smell.

        • Lynnski says

          December 16, 2012 at 8:57 PM

          I’ve read plenty of “how-to” lists for getting rid of odors and baking soda is mentioned a lot. That might work!

  33. Rubel Hussen says

    November 25, 2012 at 1:55 AM

    What a great idea! I am going to try it.

  34. HardestyMom01 says

    November 15, 2012 at 10:38 PM

    Finally! Someone who thinks just like me! I already have a large decorated container (Recycled from my sister’s home.). I just needed to figure out how to get my stack of plastic bags into it. Thank you so much!

  35. Elizabeth says

  36. Keianna says

    October 26, 2012 at 12:17 PM

    Saw this on Pinterest and wanted you to know I am making my own plastic bag container today. It may or may not be as pretty as yours, but the bags will be contained. Thanks for sharing.

  37. Georgina says

    October 18, 2012 at 8:53 PM

    Thanks for this. I’ll be doing this tomorrow!
    Although I LOVE Mod Podge, may I suggest an even easier way to do that decorating part? Use shelving paper. It’s already sticky and comes in so many cute designs!

    • Cindy in AZ says

      December 7, 2012 at 12:47 AM

      I found some contact paper at Dollar Tree!!! They has several designs and there is plenty paper on the roll to make several containers! I can’t wait to make these.

    September 24, 2012 at 2:34 PM

    I just discovered your post through Pinterest, and had to give it a try. I didn’t have any wipes containers and my plastic bags were all mismatched. I used a plastic one gallon ice cream tub and cut a circular hole about 1-1/2 inch across in the middle. The bags popped out like tissues out of a tissue box! Now I’m wondering if this can be set up for my friends who recycle bags in their retail stores. Yes, it takes a little folding and prepping, but it can all be done in front of the TV. I stacked the bags on a coffee table and just pulled the next one forward from the bottom of the pile as I rolled them up. What fun!

    These are some of the greatest ideas I have ever seen…besides my little sister’s ideas. I am so in love with the bag containers. You just don’t know. Thank you so much!!!!

  42. Lynn says

    September 2, 2012 at 3:33 PM

    Lots of great ideas! Not sure how practical the grocery bag container is without being a crafter myself…but with the step by step directions I might just have to buy the supplies and give it a try!

    August 26, 2012 at 12:42 PM

    This didn’t prove successful for me, but it is a brilliant idea! In my case, the plastic bags took a little too much effort to pull out of the wipes container. I tried rolling them up twice, once in a looser way and the second time much tighter, and neither worked very well! Again, though, it’s a great idea and I’m glad I tried it! Thanks!

  46. Bjpowell says

    August 25, 2012 at 11:22 AM

    Great idea – I have a lil one in diapers – and I just use these baggies to wrap the diapers in – saves on space – gonna try for sure – question is – with the bigger cleaning containers – about how many bags do you think you can fit in there???? I’m looking for mass storage of these things lol – we go thru a lot of diapers and I use a lot of cleaning containers up!!!

    August 10, 2012 at 2:04 PM

    I do estate sales for a living and we use recycled grocery bags for our customers’ purchases, this may just change my life. We are forever carting around bags stuffed with bags, this will be so much neater if I can find the time to do it. THANK YOU!

      I’m so glad I found this! I made it this weekend, and now I’m obsessed with this idea and shared this idea with 3 friends! I have cleared a huge space for all my bags!

      Maddie, I tried folding (tucking) the next bag just less than 3/4 from the end rather than the handle. Give it a try!

    I read this this morning and am now the very elated owner of a baggie container upstairs, a baggie container downstairs, and a baggie container in my purse for dog walks… instead of one massive kitchen drawer stuffed to the brim with noisy crumpled plastic. I linked to you from my blog so my friends can all learn this amazing “life-hack.” You’re my new hero – thank you for sharing!

    Just love this idea! I have a ton of plastic bags cluttering up the bottom shelf in my kitchen cupboard! Will be a rainy day project!!

    Hi! Not sure how many links I clicked on to eventually lead me to this site, but this an AWESOME idea! I just finished rolling up some Target bags into a Method container. I'm sure it will be a little harder, given the asymmetrical shape of the container, but I'm excited about the beautiful lime green cap color. Thanks for the great idea!

    Nice idea! I do the flag fold with my bags and put them in an empty kleenex box.

    LOVE this idea! It's perfect to contain messes from the kiddos!

    Brilliant! My bags are tied into a cute little not and then strewn about in the door pockets of the car. I must make one for myself…cute and very practical. Thanks for the great idea!

  105. Kassi @ Truly Lovely says

    July 21, 2011 at 8:19 PM

    This is an AWESOME idea! Thanks for sharing the way to fold the bags! I never would've figured that out!

    Stop yourself! R U kidding me? I just finished up a bottle of clorox wipes 2 days ago and thought "you know, I can use this for something…hmmmm. I'll hold onto it until I figure something out." Well, here it is. No more thought on my part. Thanks!!

  107. Sarah says

    July 21, 2011 at 7:35 PM

    Awesome idea…definitely have to get this in the works.

  108. Rebecca D says

    July 21, 2011 at 6:55 PM

    Perfect timing… I just finished up a container of clorex wipes this morning… I'm off to make this!!

    How clever! Love this simple, useful idea. Off to pin it! 😉 Have a great day!

    July 21, 2011 at 3:23 PM

    Honestly Girl! You are amazing. Every time I see a project that is completely genius I scroll to the bottom and it is Beckie – no joke. I want one for my car, at work, under the kitchen sink, in each bathroom. Love it! Function and Style.

  111. Kat says

    July 21, 2011 at 2:52 PM

    What a wonderful project! I love when useful stuff can be pretty, too.

    July 21, 2011 at 2:52 PM

    I love this project! I have been using an old wipes container to store these bags in my car, but this is way prettier! 🙂

  113. btanders says

    July 21, 2011 at 2:38 PM

    Genius! LOVE it! Will be making one tonight!!

  114. Kelli @ RTSM says

    July 21, 2011 at 2:14 PM

    That is an awesome idea! I'm kind of sad that I just threw away one of those containers a few days ago! I guess I will have to wait till we empty another one:)

  115. Cristy says

    July 21, 2011 at 2:13 PM

    I'm a new follower and just wanted to thank you for this idea! Not only am I going to put one in both MY car and my husband's (we have a dog AND a baby so these will come in handy), but I'm doing this in my house instead of the half of the drawer that has them thrown in there! Thanks for such a cute little tip. I plan on working on it today … even if I don't get the pretty part done, at least the function will be finished!

  116. Lorilee says

    July 21, 2011 at 2:11 PM

    Love the idea. I don't have a huge stash of plastic bags anymore. I use them frequently, but I also use the cloth grocery bags when I remember!
    Has anyone noticed how thin the plastic bags are now?
    Blessings,
    Lorilee

  117. Amanda @ Serenity Now says

    July 21, 2011 at 12:55 PM

    What a great idea!! I have several of those containers…unfortunately they still have the wipes in them. I guess I will have to just start disinfecting every square inch of the house until one is used up!! 😉

  118. Michele {The Scrap Shoppe} says

    July 21, 2011 at 12:53 PM

    Brilliant idea, Beckie! I will definitely be stashed my wipes containers when they are empty now.

    July 21, 2011 at 12:37 PM

    I'm constantly looking for a stray bag so I can pick up all the trash that seems to constantly accumulate in our vehicles. This is perfect (and so cute). And luckily, I think one of the trash items kicking around in one vehicle right now is an empty wipe container. Serendipitous!

  120. Kathy says

    July 21, 2011 at 11:37 AM

    How brilliant is this? I think it's the perfect thing for everyone to have in their car. Thanks for sharing.
