Bag Dispenser

It is always best to use reusable bags but when you cant seem to avoid getting those pesky plastic bags, you need somewhere to keep them so they don’t get thrown into the garbage.

Supplies

Coffee can

Paper or spray paint

Decorative items

Craft knife

Remove the lid of the coffee can and set aside.

Put glue on the outside of the can and let it sit a few minutes to get tacky

Apply the paper to the can and decorate how you would like

If you are using spray paint, on a covered work surface, spray the can evenly and allow the paint to dry overnight.

Flip the lid upside-down on a cutting surface and cut an X in the center of the lid about 2 inches big. Then cut slits from the center to make a star instead of an X

Close the lid and fill the can with bags by pushing them down through the cut star, leaving the last bag sticking out slightly.

Pull the bags through the top or add more by pushing them down through the top.
