HAVE I SAID "I LOVE ORGANIZATION" ??

Being the first of a new year always finds me cleaning out cupboards, closets, etc.  One has to wonder how all the stuff just seems to breed in your home.  As I was doing some kitchen cupboard cleaning I found I had an entire cupboard dedicated to plastic grocery bags.  Now, I enjoy recycling everything I can, but even I had to admit there was no way I was ever going to use all those bags and they were taking up some much needed real estate in my kitchen.  I had to make a change !!!

It didn't take me long to remember a little project I had done a number of years ago and knew it would solve my "plastic bag" storage problem.

I gathered a few plastic liter soda bottles (always have plenty of those, I love Pepsi).  Washed them out so they wouldn't be sticky.

Gathered my supplies, some glue, the bottles and a fabric scrap I had on hand.  I chose this particular fabric not because of the color or design, but the fact that it is water resistance and easy to clean.  I plan to put this on the inside of a cupboard door, so what it looked like wasn't as important to me as it's function.

 

Once I cut down and assembled my two bottles, I glued the fabric to it and let it dry for a few hours

 

 

Hubby sees this drying and wonders if I'm making a "rocket ship" (ha).  Once everything was good and secure I took a couple of thumb tacks and installed it in a cupboard door.

 

 

Now I can no longer horde hundreds of these bags and I'm a little more organized !!!!!

 

The best part of this project was it was made costing absolutely nothing using recyclable parts for recyclable items !!!
