Your rolls of plastic shopping bags will stay neat and compact, and they can really fit anywhere for easy access wherever you are.
Time needed: 10 minutes
Here’s how to roll plastic bags into organized, self-dispensing bundles:
1.Gather & Unpack
Immediately after unpacking all the items you bought, gather up all of the the plastic shopping bags. (If you don’t do it immediately after, the bags will wind up in a cupboard creating unnecessary clutter.)
2. Lay Flat & Fold
Lay the plastic bags flat. Then, fold them in half — aligning all of the handles together.
3. Get The Right Angle
With the top bag, fold the handles up — to make a 90-degree angle.
4. Start Rolling
Then, start rolling half of the folded bag.
5. Fold & Place
Place another folded bag — with the handles overlapping the bottom of the first (halfway folded) bag.
6. Roll & Merge
Continue rolling and merging the plastic shopping bags together this way. (Repeat the process — adding one bag at a time until you are out of bags and all of your bags are neatly rolled around each other.)
7. Secure With A Rubberband
Secure your plastic bag roll with a rubber band.
8. Ready To Pull
The handles sticking out of your new roll of bags will be the first bag you pull out, the next time you need a bag.
So that’s how to roll plastic bags!
