Sooner or later, every adult acquires a plastic bag that they use as storage for other plastic bags. But the bag becomes huge pretty quickly, ends up not fitting in the drawer it’s kept in, and becomes the reason for a huge mess.

5-Minute Crafts would like to show you how to fold plastic bags and store them in an organized way. And, in the bonus section, we’ll tell you how to fold and store reusable grocery bags.
