Plastic Mesh Food Bags ~ Repurposing

Keep those plastic mesh (or net) bags that your lemons, limes, onions and other foods items come in.

I just made a different type of kitchen scrubbie, using my leftover net bag from lemons.

Here are More Ideas for Recycling Plastic Net Food Bags:

1.  Make an Outdoor Bird Feeder

Fill a mesh bag with bird food, add scraps of string and yarn, and make an outdoor suet bird feeder.  Tie in a tree with scrap string.

2. Scrapbooking and Card Making

Cut and glue small pieces of netting for backgrounds of photos.

3. Do-It Yourself Dish Scrubber

4. Embellish Homemade Hair Accessories

Glue pieces underneath embellishments onto hair clips, combs, and barrettes.

5. Cold Storage

Use leftover net/mesh bags to store vegetables for the winter season (potatoes, onions etc).
