I used an empty formula can for this. It was the Up & Up brand from Target if you are familiar with their cans (it was the large one). This would also be easy to do with an oatmeal can or coffee can as well. I just peeled the paper off of the can.
I took my exacto knife and cut some slits into the lid. That way I can pull the bags out this way also.
I grabbed my mod podge and found some old scrapbook paper that I had never used. It had probably been in that drawer for over a year. I brushed the mod podge to the can and cover it with paper. It did take two sheets of paper to do this.
I then printed a label for myself. I just picked a font I liked and printed it out. Then I cut it out with a circle cutting scrapbook tool. I mod podged it to the can where I wanted it. Also, be sure to do a coat of mod podge over the entire thing when finished.
TA DA! Now I have a cute and practical place to store all of our grocery bags. No more mess under the counter for us!Linking Up:

Ohh , definitely making one of these!
My plastic bags are currently all jumbled up and tucked in one giant bag so when I go to pull one out, I get about 5!
Thanks for sharing!

did you put the bags in there a specific way so you can pull them out like a kleenex box? This is such a great idea.
I am still struggling with that small feature but most of the time one just seems to find its way out. I did make sure to put in one at a time in a stack instead of just crumbling them up and shoving them in there.
This is such a neat idea! Thanks for sharing! I wonder if it would work with an oatmeal container?
