       I have not tried these ideas out for myself, I, either came up with them, or found them in the online crafty world. Please use caution when trying these DIY's.
  1. Use them to line small waste cans for easy clean-up.
  2. Cut them up and turn them into tissue paper for your bookish gifts.
  3. Turn them into string and crochet a new re-usable B&N bag. (If you're really ambitious)
  4. Fill old pillow cases with wadded up plastic bags.
  5. Use them as stuffing when you ship things in the mail.
  6. Make a kite.
  7. Line paint trays with the bags next time you want to spice up your library wall color
  8. Use them again! The next time your local B&N cashier starts to bag your stack of books, hand him your own.
  9. Instead of reaching for the plastic wrap when you're cooking, use those plastic bags.
  10. They also make a great stand-in for a pastry bag next time you have to ice some sugar cookies.
  11. Make a book parachute for your Funko collection. (Don't tell me that wouldn't make an awesome picture.)
  12. Take them with you when you travel to keep your dirty clothes in one place.
  13. Line a cracked vase to avoid future leaks.
  14. Protect your bookish Christmas ornaments by wrapping them in a plastic bag before storing them.
  15. If you have a cat, line the litter box for easy clean up.

       While all these tips are pretty neat, please remember that the most efficient and eco-friendly way to shop is with a reusable tote bag. It saves the planet every time you use it. (And most stores offer a discount if you bring your own bags.)
       What do you do with your old Barnes & Noble bags? Let me know in the comments below!

Thanks to my mother, not a single cardboard box has found its way back into society. We receive gifts in boxes from stores that went out of business twenty years ago."
