My cousin cuts them up and makes them into bib aprons and carry-all bags (the kind you see sold at stores at the check-out stand). Other types of animal food bags are good for this, too, just as long as they have a nice animal graphic on it.

Use for mulching in the garden! Nothing works better than paper to keep weeds out of a garden! Cut them all the way open, lay them flat. We put mulch over ours to keep them down, or you can wet them(soak in water) first
Since they are made of paper, they are recyclable so maybe you can use them to fill with your paper recyclables and put out for collection. I bet they wood work well to hold yard weeds, leaves and grass clippings, too. Good luck!
Hello Bella; You are most Welcome!!!
Thank-You so much for posting your question!!!
I now know what I am planning to make with some saved bags that I have!!!
Have fun crafting!! Take Care!
my husband stores ropes in his
The ones that are like a tarp fabric. I turn in side out, fold down some and sew a band of fabric around the opening, then add fabric handles. They are folded up a rubber band is put around them and left in the trunk of the car when we go to the beach, and it is time to come home all wet and sandy things are put in one of those bags. NO mess in the trunk. If it is raining real bad and you need to bring thing in from the car one of those bags are used. Will that help you?
I use all our dog food bags for poop patrol. When done just roll it up and throw it away.
Certain companies buy them back as long as you tear open where your supposed to on them.
Call area shelters and se f they can use them.
THey actually make great grocery bags. Good and sturdy.
Hi again Remember if you machine stitch on the bags the stitches will bind up on the plastic fabric. That's why I cut off or folded down the top edge of the bag then stitched a nice top band of fabric Then added the handles out of the same fabric. My band of fabric is about 2 or 3 inches wide If you have some left over fleece, it works real well .Nice and heavy. I have gotten a fleece scarf at the thrift store to make the band and handles , for the bag. Sorry I did not get you all the info the other day. I was going to the hospital My husband was having heart surgery.
I use them to dispose of dog poop after picking it up with my pooper scooper.
