Earth Day - Grocery Bag Holder

Being that earth day is tomorrow the 22nd, for awhile now I've been making sure I get paper bags instead of plastic bags.  But that darn WalMart doesn't have paper and of course I always forget my reusable canvas bags whenever I go there.  So to say the least I have a huge collection of plastic bags that needed a storage place.  I found a tutorial from Ashley's Make It and Love It  blog for Grocery Bag Holder's! I had extra camo print fabric left over from a car trash bag that I made him, which I also found at her blog.  She has TONS of awesome tutorials.

Here's the happy holder now..
Filed up with plastic grocery bags!
Sew a little ribbon on.. Don't look up close I can't sew that straight plus it's for the garage!
There's 11 1/2 in long elastic around the top to stuff your bags in.
Then at the bottom there's a 6 inch piece of elastic to hold it tight while you pull the baggies out.
Don't mind my garage photo.  We have it hanging up here for now which works because right behind me where I was taking the photo is all his camouflaged hunting gear.

Ashley's version is adorable because it's a bunch of fabrics sewn together where I opted for just all camo since it's in the garage, so he can enjoy it.
