From ripening the fruits, wrapping the gifts and
cleaning to serving snacks, there are many
exciting reuses of a paper bag. After your
shopping spree or a run to a grocery store, you
must have left with plenty of paper bags. Like
most homeowners, you consider them waste and
dispose of them off as soon as you remove the
products. But have you ever thought you can do
great things with these paper bags ? From
ripening the fruits, wrapping the gifts and
cleaning to serving snacks, there are many
exciting reuses of a paper bag.

1) For Speeding up the Fruit Ripening

• Paper bags are a great way to ripe some
  kinds of fruits like tomatoes, pears, peaches,
  and avocados. All you need to keep the fruit
  inside, roll the top of the bag closed, and place
  it on your counter for 48 hours (2 days). Over
  time, the ethylene gas will be released from the
  fruits, and the paper bag will trap the gas
  inside which will let it ripen faster. This
  effect cant be achieved with a plastic bag as
  they also lock in moisture and make the fruit to
  rot.

2) For Cleaning Windows

• Papers are a great way to clean mirror
  surfaces. Most papers are made of dense fibers
  without any solid or scratching materials like
  calcium carbonate and silica. Spray the window
  with cleaner and rub paper bag in circular
  motions with your paper bag. Make sure to absorb
  all the liquid. Use another paper to wipe the
  screen horizontally and then vertically to remove
  the streaks as well as to absorb the liquid.

3) For Serving Snacks

• There was a good old time when a packet of
  chips was the all-time snack to die for. Paper
  bags can be a great way to serve a snack at any
  gathering or party. They are especially great for
  popcorn and potato chips. Kids will love it as
  they have their food served in individual
  packages. And adults are less likely to mind when
  their finger foods are conveniently packed into
  individual servings either. It is a great way for
  lazybones who love to throw house parties and
  want to avoid the hassle of washing so many
  serving bowls once the party gets over.

4) For Wrapping Gifts

• Paper bags can make a great gift wrapping
  ideas. All you need to cut the bag so you can lay
  it out flat, and wrap your present up. Give it a
  finishing touch by wrapping a piece of gorgeous
  twine around it.

Miscellaneous Uses

• Use them to collect kitchen waste and compost
  items dump out the food scraps and then tear up
  the bag to go directly into the compost pile as
  well when its time to compost.
• Use them as a tote if they have handles.
• Line the trash can with it. Toss the trash into
  the bin without removing the bag as a liner.
• Use them in your art projects.
