I was going through my pantry today to clean it out, and I realized that I've been storing up safeway grocery bags... for nearly 2 years. In my head, I had assumed that I was using them almost as quickly as I was getting them from the grocery store for things like bathroom garbage cans and the such... but it turns out that I haven't even been close.

So... I pulled all the garbage bags out of the pantry and had a mountain of them covering my kitchen floor. I know that I can put them in my plastic recycle bin and have the recyclers take them away, but I figure... maybe somebody's got a clever idea for what to do with them besides that. I read in some article online that you can iron them together between pieces of paper and form a type of fabric that can be sewn. That's cool (although it starts to release fumes that give me a headache...), and I may do that for a few small projects, but what do I do with the rest of them?

Any ideas?
