Inventive Ways To Benefit From Brown Paper Bags

By Eartha Mansfield


After you go to the market for your regular supply of food, what do you do with the extra brown paper bags that accumulate? Do you just throw them away, or do you let them make a mess around your kitchen?

You're probably wondering how you may be able to make better use of these surplus bags. No one wants to be wasteful and no one likes clutter either, so these ideas will surely be ones that you appreciate.

Even if you use plastic garbage bags in your kitchen can, you should know that it's very easy for sticky residue to still accumulate at the bottom of the garbage. You can add an extra layer with one of the extra paper bags.

Have you ever made a mess on your kitchen counter as you prepare food? Whether you're slicing up fruits or veggies for a salad or doing something else, this can easily happen. Use the bag as a protective layer.

Don't you just hate it when grease seeps off of your food? We all do because it's not just unhealthy, but it's simply unappetizing. If you let your paper bag do the work by absorbing a lot of the extra grease that you wouldn't want to eat anyway, you can also help to keep your meal a little healthier.

Before you throw away that bag, here's one more idea that is sure to bring a smile to your face. Use it to make a homemade greeting card for someone. Shape it up and design it all by yourself. Kids particularly love this idea since it provides an extra source of fun at home.

Looking for another potential way to get more mileage out of a paper bag? Why not cover a book with it? All book covers are made out of paper anyway, so this shouldn't be a difficult thing to envision.

They can also serve as an aid when it comes to fruits. There are a number of fruits that, if placed inside bags, will become riper more easily than they would on their own.
