I took repurposed a bleach wipe container into a plastic bag holder. It’s affordable, easy, cleans up all of those messy bags, and re-purposes a container you might have recycled. This project is adaptable for trash bags as well.
For this project I used:
- An empty bleach wipe container
- bags
- wall stickers
- alphabet stickers
Remove the label from an old container and clean it up.
I applied the wall sticker to the container. You could also use shelf liner, wall paper, paint, or any stickers you like
Next I added letter stickers which is an optional step. You could also just write it on there.
Now it’s time to add your bags. We have just stuffed them in there and pulled them out. If you are looking for a great tutorial on now to fold them and get them to pull out nicely go here:
Put the lid back on and pull one up towards the top.
Close the lid and store it.
I have several of these now and here are some locations of where we store ours:
- In all bathrooms
- In the kitchen
- In cars
- In bedrooms or where ever you have other trashcans for easy access.

What a great idea! I love your organization ideas. So easy and looks great.
Thank you Linda, I like the way it cleans up the mess in the cabinets 😉
So pretty! Where I live in CA we no longer get bags when shopping, (it has been so long, I can’t remember when it started! At least 10 years ago, probably more), you have to bring your own. They charge between 10 – 25 cents per bag, even the shops in the mall are doing away with bags or charging for them. Some vendors that still give bags, food take out, for example, are going back to a recycled paper product. Hang on to those bags before they are a “thing of the past!”
Thanks Naomie, and I think that is fantastic that CA is encouraging bringing your own bag. When we traveled to Europe this past summer, all of the stores were like that there as well. I try to use my own bags most of the time, I only use these when I need new trash bags 🙂
Gah! I love this! How cute is this?! I love upcycled things like this, and I never would have thought of this 🙂 Stopping by from Link it Up Wednesday
Thank you Ani and I’m so glad you like it. Hopefully this will inspire you too 🙂
SOOO much better than a bag full of bags under the sink!
Thank you Julie. My husband’s grandma had taught us a special way to fold them to reduce the space under the sink, but I like this even more. 🙂
I love it as a piggy bank
What a great idea, thanks for sharing.
