In this video I show you how to easily and quickly fold those plastic grocery bags that are everywhere nowadays. I show you how to fold them into a triangle so you can store them at home or take them on the go. Once the bags are folded they will neatly fit in a backpack for school or camping. Keep a few in the diaper bag for those times you wish you had a bag. Keep them in the car for easy trash cleanup. Toss a few in your fishing tackle box so you can clean up any trash you might have while fishing.

Thanks for doing this. You took out a lot of your time just to fold plastic bags. Thanks a lot, and Save The Turtles!
You’re very welcome. 🐢🐢🐢
My problem is I waited until I have 594 wrinkly crumpled bags. At 30 seconds a bag it is going to take a long time.
I totally get It. Save ten and toss the rest. When you’re folding them and not chatting for a video they fold much quicker. Then you can fold any new ones that come into the house.
@@rsislandcrafts Your way is the best that I've seen on YT. I've folded 36 so far, and probably threw out about 30 because they had holes in them. I will keep and fold all of them that don't have holes. Store plastic bags are going the way of the dinosaur in my state in May.
@@DAS-Videos We still have plastic bags here in Florida. I try to use my own bags as much as possible but sometimes 🤷♀️. I’m glad you’re able to clean up your stash of bags. I don’t save the ones with holes either. Now you’ll be able to keep a few in your backpack or wherever just in case you need them.
Girl i was just thinking the same thing watching this 😭 oh well, just going to do 100 and call it a day 😆
So basically the paper football fold. So simple yet I never thought to do this 👍🏾
Yes! The paper football fold. It only takes a minute but saves so much space.
I fold lengthwise until pretty slim then just roll it. I roll a few around that and put a rubber band around it and throw it under my car seat, super small and ready to go!
Thank you so much for this ! I’m a grocery bagger and saw some of my customers come in with bags folded like this and wanted to do it myself
You’re very welcome. That’s awesome.
It worked a treat! I can now carry some bags with me as they don't take up much space.
eileenfb1948 Exactly! I put a few in a ziplock baggie in my purse. Someone is always needing a bag for trash, wet things or whatever and this makes it so much easier to carry them. Plus at home they take up so much less space than just jamming them inside another bag.
I have to do this NOW! I literally have a whole cabinet full of them 😩 nothing else fits there anymore!! And like a drug addict I just keep adding more! 😭 THANK YOU for this!
I totally understand. Once folded you’ll be surprised how much less space they take up. Then you can collect more 😉
You are SO amazing! Thank you! After having big messy bags in my car, I am so happy I found your video after watching a few. Your method is the best. Thank you a million!
You are so welcome!
Tysm for this! You saved my life!😂😂❤❤❤❤
Happy to help.
@@rsislandcrafts 😉☺️🙃😊
I knew my Girl Scout flag folding training would come in handy some day!
😄 exactly.
What a great tip. I see your first comment was from 5 years ago so one of your early video's. I don't buy plastic bags any more and always carry at least 2 fold-up fabric bags with me whenever I go out 😁
Me too.
All these years later - incredibly helpful, thanks so much!! 👍🎉
Glad it was helpful!
Ajajajajajaja
Thank u such brilliant idea i got frm ur video after seeing all polybags dispenser videos. Thanx a lot. Luv from india❤️
Doing this during quarantine!
Yes! I don’t use my reusable bags because I don’t want to deal with any germs or washing them all the time.
It starts at 1:09
Thank you so much. I finally have space to put all of my sock into now yay!
Glad I could help!
I JUST found this video tutorial. My only suggestion would be to somehow increase the volume of the video. I had my laptop turned up to the max, as well as the YT video volume and still had issues hearing you. I'm not a very savvy online social media person; so, I'm not sure how that is possible to adjust. Thanks for the new way to fold my collection of plastic shopping bags so that they don't take up my fabric plastic bag holders (that were gifted from my 91 yr-old Mom's friends). Also, an AWESOME activity for the times I'm mindlessly watching TV to do something useful as well! God Bless you! Happy Holy Week!! :)
Thank you for letting me know. It’s an old video so I’ll see what I can do.
Thank you!! We have so many, this helps so much
You’re welcome.
I go out of my way to avoid having to use plastic bags. I have reuseable bags (and I have "scrap bags" made from scrap quilting fabric + webbing in addition to purchased bags), but sometimes they don't make it back in the car. But this is certainly a great way to manage the volume and eliminate the tangle. I also keep bread bags. They are so handy to reuse as well.
My grandmother loved to save bread bags. We all laughed but we also found uses for those bags. This is an older video. I also use reusable bags now but during Covid I went with the disposable bags.
@@rsislandcrafts my grandmother,too, saved bread bags and string. Covid will be our generational badge as the Depression was for our grandparents.
Good video. I have been folding my plastic bags this way for years. Bags with holes or other clean flexible plastic goes into a plastic bag that I don't want to reuse. When that bag is full, I take it to the
Walmart to recycle. I learned when I worked there how much packaging plastic and cardboard they recycle. Reduce, reuse, ♻️ .
I’m huge on recycling. Not to mention reusing as much as I can. I still mend socks.
Thanks! Very handy tip, and I will definitely use this to control my big bag of bags!😊💖👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This was a great and easy video to follow. Thank you! I had NO idea how to make the bags so manageable!
Thank you. It’s amazing how much smaller the pile of bags is when they’re folded like this.
I just did this to dozens of bags this morning. Thank you for the tutorial
You’re very welcome. I still fold my bags this way. Yes, It takes a minute or two to fold them after each shopping trip but I like how neat they are folded. Have a wonderful weekend.
Thank you so much for making this video, I’ve got dozens of extra bags a keep for trash bags in my bathroom I was going to bring them back to the grocery store I shop at because they recycle them but I’d rather keep them because we always use them and I needed to find a video like this, when I get home from work i’m going to do this to all my bags thanks a bunch!
Glad it was helpful! As an added recycle tip when I folded the bags at my kids house I stored them in an old laundry pod container. It keeps the bags tidy and out of sight. It fits nicely under the bath room sink. At my house I have an old peppermint candy container from a previous Sam’s purchase that I use. Have a great weekend.
@@rsislandcrafts I saw this video earlier today before work come on my brain injury survivor and I get tired easily and I don’t like the work I do, my father help me open remodeling company on Thursday if I’m not busy tomorrow or my soonest convenience I’m going to do this. Thanks again for this video!
@@johnmazmanian6589 Brain injuries are extremely difficult. I’m the type of person that hopes to give helpful tips and ideas. Please ignore the rest of this comment if you want. If the bags are something that “bothers” you then maybe fold 2-3 at some point during the day. With your morning coffee or at night while listening to the tv or whatever. Before long they will all be folded neatly. Good luck!
@@rsislandcrafts I’m much more active on tiktok do you have one? I’ll share a link with my account that my mother made and it went viral…
@@johnmazmanian6589 Sorry, no TikTok. I am on Instagram though. All of my links are in the description box of my videos. Just scroll down a bit.
You're a cool person thank you for this helpful idea!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you
GENIUS! I like using the bags for doggie poop bags and was trying to think of a way to carry them more compactly.
Perfect use for the grocery bags. By folding them you’ll be able to easily fit several in fanny pack or your pocket.
Thank you, i really needed this!
Glad it was helpful!
I fold my bags this way, well i did now i have fabric plastic bags which are strong and long lasting. Hope to see you soon in your new home.
I try to use my reusable bags as much as possible. Sometimes I forget them in the car.
@rsislandcrafts as I have a knee problem I always take a trolley when I shop so even if I forget the bags in the car it is not a problem.
Thank you for this great space saving tip!!!
The pile of plastic bags used to drive me crazy. Now I store them in an old plastic container and they’re neat and tidy. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. 🦩
Love it! ❤😊😊😊 thank u!!! Nice video!
I'm glad you like it
Thanks always wanted to know how to fold bags.....❤
Happy to help!
Thanks for sharing this!
You’re welcome 🦩
Good storage for me
Starts at 1:08
Thank you! Had a mess of bags in utility room that I re-use, especially to dispose of cat litter. Doesn't really take much time at all to do this and no mess of bags laying around anymore. Very clever. (Why didn't I think of that? LOL)
Ellie O'Neal Thanks for stopping by! It really doesn’t take long at all to fold a bunch. I like how portable they are now.
I found triangle storage method to be far superior and convenient to all the other ones out there. Thanks for the video.
@@jk1776yt Much better than cramming them in a container or those fabric bags. These take up very little space.
Thank you! I'll be doing that while I watch TV tonight.
Perfect time to fold bags. You’ll be done before you know It.
This one is real I have seen it in real life
Fold till as good as new
Genius! I’ll have to try that! Thanks Robin!
It only takes a minute to fold the bags and they are so much neater and take up less space. You can watch one of my videos while you fold your bags 😉
@@rsislandcrafts lol great idea!
Thank you from Cyprus. Best idea yet
Thank you! Having piles of those plastic bags shoved here and there irritates me. I use cloth bags most of the times but It is handy to have a few of these in the car or diaper bag or wherever. Have a wonderful weekend!
THANK YOU !!!
Omg!! A life and wallet saver!!
I still fold my bags this way. A drawer or under the sink full of loose bags irritates me 😤. If you had similar fabric bags It would still work.
Thank you so very much. 👏👏👏
You’re welcome.
Thank you very much Robin! Useful tip!
You’re very welcome. I’m glad It was helpful.
Whoa so simple thank you, I have a pile of groceries bags taking up so much space 😅
Glad it was helpful!
So easy and usefull! Thanks so much!
I like that. Neat! Thank you.
thank you 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Thank you Robin!!! This was super helpful, i’m so happy to have found a quick and easy way to fold my bags 🥰
You’re welcome. I still fold my plastic bags this way. It keeps my bags much neater and it’s easy to grab one or two bags as needed.
Thank you your awesome 👏
You are so welcome
Ingenious!!! Thanks for sharing!
I still fold my bags this way. So much neater.
Good job it is goog
Perfect method. Fast as well
Thank you
Thank you!!😊
You're welcome 😊
This is great. I save all my plastic bags to use for my dogs. I was getting a huge pile and this really helped!
Thanks. I still do this with my plastic bags. It’s amazing how that big messy pile turns into a small stack of folded bags.
THank you
Thank you!!!!
Thanks !!
Thank you
You’re welcome.
Thanks you really helped me out
super helpful & fun
This is so helpful 💕
I'm so glad!
I asked my mother in law to help me then my sister in law distracted me so I missed the main part, so I came to you but I have to give my mother in law credit for learning lol sorry and thank you!
Not a problem. This way of folding bags has been around for a long time. I know I didn’t come up with It. I still fold my bags this way. So much neater and they take up less space.
Thabk you! 🌻
🦩
Yo también puedo con las delgadas pero las grasas no se puede las que dobla son delgadas esa son faciles
I did it!!!🎉
WooHoo!!
THANK YOU
You’re very welcome.
OMG I love that idea
Having lose plastic bags floating around drives me crazy. These little footballs are nice and compact.
Thanks
Welcome
thank you
You're welcome
Very nice
Thank you! The plastic bags are great to have on hand but they take up so much room and tend to make a mess. This way keeps them nice and tidy for me and I can grab one or two as I need them.
My sister does this and I never knew how so now I do thanks
You’re welcome. Now you know your sister’s secret 😉
TY, I have bags and I wanted to find a way to make them smaller so I can re-use them to pick up 🐕 💩.
You’re very welcome. They take up much less space when folded.
Bonnie Barker,,,,,,,very clever!
Bonnie Barker Thank you!
Doing this because my mom made me but it was helpful
I’m sorry your mom made you fold plastic bags.
Hi Robin..Newbie here!... I'm from Miami, FL. Enjoying all your Videos....Thank-You. Funny that you made this One cause I've been doing exactly the same thing. Out of 28 shopping bags I was able to organize the mess of bags I had in my Galley. The 28 bags folded made 1/3 of a little gift bag where now I store them. NEET!! TFS Byyyyeeeeee!!!
lacsa727 A big welcome to you from Cape Coral!! I love how small and easy to store the bags become after folding. They are one of those things that can over run your kitchen real quick. It always amazes me how a big pile of these bags can become so small simply by folding them.
Neat!
Thank you
Try folding opposite side that doesn’t have the crease that leads to handles same result just came across these videos..
We store ours inside an old paper towel tube.
That’s really smart.
Folding starts at 2:00

Basically make samosa.
?
You sound a little down on this one, Robin.
Oh, you’re right. This was recorded 3 years ago. I don’t know exactly what was happening in my life then but It was also early on in my RUclips career. I wasn’t letting the “real Robin” shine through all of the time. 😜
