Folding Plastic Bags into Triangles for Maximum Space

I have lost count of the number of times I've needed plastic bags suddenly in cars, malls, parks and other random places. They're always good to keep on hand, especially with little ones. I've found that folding them into triangles really enables you to maximize the space you have so that you don't need to keep refilling your bag of...bags. Target bags are the way to go for me. Proven to tear less. 

I saw how to do this on a YouTube video, and thought I'd share it in a blog post. Let's get started!

Flatten out a plastic bag:

 Fold it in half:

Fold that in half:

And half again, if need be:

Take the top corner of the bottom of the bag and fold it down to make a triangle.

Flip that triangle to the right, then up, then right, then down

Until you reach the handles of the bag:

Tuck the handle inside the flap which has been created. Le voilà !

I keep a snack-sized Ziploc bag of these in the car, in my purse and in the diaper bag. Always comes in handy! Hope this post was of some help to you :)
