Reuse Plastic Shopping Bags

Submitted by: anonymous 11/07/2009 12:59 PM

I read somewhere that you can use plastic bags in window treatment valances to make them "poof." I thought that was a great decorating idea on the cheap!

Coincidentally, I was listening to the radio and heard about this incredible story of how plastic bags are being used to create bed mats for the homeless in Chicago.
