As part of our family room/kitchen makeover, I am re-freshing our living area area by introducing lots of accents in white and aqua, with splashes of other colours. I have ordered some new fabrics and have lots of projects planned over the next few weeks. It will be fun to make some home furnishings for a change!
First up was a plastic bag dispenser to hang on the back of my pantry door to corral all the plastic grocery bags before they are repurposed as bin liners etc. The one I was using was tired and in need of a re-fresh. I found some lovely Retro Kitchen fabric and teamed it with some pink gingham.
There are loads of tutorials around for plastic bag dispensers, but basically all you need is a piece of fabric the same size as a tea towel (20 x 25 inches); stitch it into a tube; hem each end; thread through some elastic; and make a loop for hanging. A quick practical project!
One project down! Next up I am in desperate need of new pot holders/oven mitts; and pretty tea towels.

Great project to help keep those plastic bags organized. I never realized how easy this is to make. That print you chose for this bag dispenser is just perfect! Like it was made just for your kitchen makeover.
Love it, such a simple thing to freshen up the kitchen!
Thanks for posting this…Not a week goes by that I haven’t thought “I need to make a bag holder” – you’re just the inspiration I needed!
Your bag holder is fab! love the colour combination :)I’ve made my holder few years ago and still think that it’s the best way for storing all the plastic bags 😉
What an organizing project…so useful and practical…Thanks for the superb idea…
