Hanging Bag Holder – Reuse and Stay Organized!

Hanging bag holders are a great way to help the planet and stay organized. When you end up with plastic bags, keep them in your holder and reuse them when you can. It seems like no matter how much I try to avoid using plastic bags, they always sneak into my house, so this hanging bag holder is quite handy.

The yarn for this design was provided by Cascade Yarns. All opinions are my own.

Rnd 5: Ch 1, sc in each sc around, sl st to top of beginning sc.

Hanging Bag Holder Finishing

To make tie string, ch 200 and fasten off.
Weave one end of tie string through Rnd 2 of base and other end through Rnd 3, starting at the first ch-1 sp of each Rnd and ending at the last.
Tie the two ends of the tie string together.
This will leave 2 parts of the tie string to tie together, one will be the fold at the center of the tie string, and the other will be the 2 ends tied together.
Tie the tie string to tighten bottom of bag holder so that the plastic bags stay inside.
