11 Ways to Reuse a Paperbag

- Reuse your bags at the market
- Line your planters/gardens with them. I hear they fend off them weeds!
- Use them as textbook covers (ohhhh flashbacks to my school gal day!)
- Wrap your gifts and packages in them! And if you are extra crafty, create your own nifty envelope for letters (eco-friendly mailing, folks!)
- Make hand puppets and create some elaborate scene with them then volunteer at a school or something, mayhaps, and act out your scene
- Transport cut flowers in them
- Brown-baggin' for lunch or use them as trick-or-treating bags on Halloween
- Line kitties litter box or tweety's birdcage
- Ripen your fruit in them. The closed bag traps ethylene, the natural gas released by the ripening fruit (while still allowing a little ventilation), which helps it ripen faster.
- Use as a placemat at dinner table and have kids draw or colour on them like in restaurants
- Create a paper bag suit (see above) or mark and attack! Attack!
