Well, if you can't find a use from zippered bags please donate them to your local thrift store. I volunteer at one and we can always use them for linens, towels, fabric (large pieces) and more.
Thanks

I use the large ones for storing clothes, if I have no use for the smaller ones I rip out the zipper and use it when I make my small purse and make up bags. They're wonderful!

God bless

I use the small zippered or snap bags from various items to seperate and organize all of the baby supplies in one drawer. All of the free samples in one and medicines in another and droppers and clippers and such in another. The larger ones I use for storing blankets or storing christmas garlands. The are also good for storing horse blankets in your tack box. Especially fleece coolers and saddle pads. They always tend to collect hay bits in the fleece. Keeping them in the bags keeps them clean. They sell blankets storage cases for outrageous amounts of money but this is so much better because they are see though. I hope these ideas are helpful. oh yeah the small bags are helpful to keep small packets of sauce and mixes contained in your pantry.

Toodles,
Becky

I use them to store my winter socks and heavy stockings in...We have a small house and my hubby and I share a chester drawer. So not many drawers for me...3 for me and 3 for him...I found some of those bags that you suck the air out of at Big Lots for cheap...And they are GREAT!!!..

Here's a link to several items made with recyclables. I especially like the clever idea to making a sewing kit out of an egg carton.

I use the bigger comforter type bags to store the renegade sleeping bags in that refuse to stay rolled up. The smaller bags I use for quilting projects to keep things organized. D

I use the sheet set size to store my horse's polo wraps and quilts. The small size I pack with first aid stuff to take with me either in the truck or my saddle bags.
