Help me reuse!

Lotte134

I'm unpackaging and washing baby clothes, sheets, mattress covers, etc... today (way too much fun, by the way!).  But all the baby sheets and mattress covers come in plasticky little envelope/bag things that I feel really bad just throwing away.  They have a hanger type thing on top so I feel like I should be able to reuse them for something but I'm drawing a blank.  Any great ideas?  Or if you have need of them, let me know and I'd  be happy to send them to you for the cost of shipping - probably around $2 first class.

I'm thinking storage.  Maybe rags, wipes, cleaners, etc, and label the outside of the bag?  That or storing the stuff that takes up space under the sink (kitchen or bathroom).  Wish I were more help!

i use them for travel wetbags... when you don't need/want a big one. they are also good for taking to the beach/pool/grandparents, since they are clear the contents are obvious so nobody throws CD's away... anything you would use a Ziploc for.

These are good thanks - keep the ideas coming!

I find them to be great for this purpose! I have a bunch saved up and use them all the time. I only have a large wetbag now bc daycare will need one.

depending on the size, you can always use them to store sheet sets for baby or regular sheets, that way you don't have to hunt for matching pillowcases, etc.

I have been using them for packing right now - when I have groups of things I don't want to separate.  I put DH hand held vacuum in a big baggy we had for a sheet set so we wouldn't lose all the parts. I also packed away some of DD baby toys in an old comforter bag

I also mailed diapers in certain ones when I sold them on diaperswappers, those didn't have the hangers.

*You can get the hangers out if you bend them a bit*
