things to do with ziploc bags

Holding homemade baby wipes for road trips.

Protecting my "insulated" bottle bags inside my diaper bag. Can also use the bag for holding dirty diapers until you find a trash bin/get home.

Separating X-mas ornaments.

Saw this one in use at my brother & g/f's first apartment tonight - organizing already cut coupons. It was cute...she wants me to teach her to coupon. It's a start but I'm thinking of getting her a "starter binder" as a housewarming gift.

I use the bigger ones (the huge ones that only come a few to a box) to store out-of-season clothing.

I have recently discovered this use, and it's great! I use the huge ones to organize my kids' outgrown clothing by size (with three kids, you have to organize hand me downs or things will get overlooked). It's wonderful because now there are not empty rubbermaid bins when they're in a certain size, that suddenly I have to deal with storing. They take up so much less room than bins stacked everywhere!

I love Amy D's system with the paper boxes in the attic; unfortunately, our attic is tiny...

You can vary the size of the bag for this idea but....

Take a group (8 to 10), line them up, sew them onto a placemat, put grossgrain ribbon over that, decorate the rest with...whatever...put ribbons on the outside to roll it all up and tie it and you have a great gift for a cross stitcher to keep her thread in. Or fix it for a new mom with baby needs. Or a traveler with sample size things. Use smaller bags, and a smaller placemat..or ?? and you have a gift for a beader. This could also be used for a scrapbooker.

Would post a picture of one I made but not sure how to post pics on here....have only done it in my album.......if someone can advise I will try to post. A nice but cheap gift and everyone that I have made one for loved it.......know their hobby and adjust accordingly. The placemats are really cheap at the thrift shops.

~You can slip gallon sized baggies over your socks before putting on your boots. We did this as kids to keep our feet warm and dry during extended snow days and romps in the swampy marsh and woods.~
