Stop throwing out plastic grocery bags. Here are 10 brilliant hacks to use them around the house

To keep plastic bags organized and easily accessible, create a DIY dispenser. Roll the bags into a tube and place them in an empty tissue box or a repurposed container. This method keeps bags tidy and prevents them from cluttering drawers or cabinets.

Plastic bags can be used as makeshift waterproof shoe covers. Simply slip a bag over each shoe and tie the handles around your ankles. This hack is perfect for protecting shoes from rain or mud, especially during outdoor activities.

When painting, use plastic bags to keep paintbrushes from drying out between uses. Wrap the brush in a bag and secure it with a rubber band. This trick prevents the paint from hardening, saving time and resources during a painting project.
