Brown Paper Bag Craft – Storage Sacks
Looking for a clever brown paper bag craft? I’ve got the perfect idea for your kitchen – storage sacks! You can use brand new or upcycled brown paper bags (lunch sacks) to hide unsightly supplies in your kitchen or office. They will look perfect on open shelving in a farmhouse style kitchen. That is exactly what I did with my new DIY open shelving in our kitchen.

This couldn’t be an easier project. First, figure out what you want to store in your brown paper bags. I decided to use them for my ground coffee and tea bag packages. Next, grab some bags and trim off the top so that they’re not too tall. I trimmed 2″ from mine:

Lastly, place a label on your bag to indicate what is inside.
You can glue on the labels or simply tape them on:

Now it’s time to put your storage sacks to work. Simply tuck your packages inside and place them on your shelf.
I chose to showcase my storage sacks on my new DIY open shelving in our kitchen. Do you know where I got the inspiration for these sacks? The Little House on the Prairie TV series! My daughter loves to watch it, so I happened to catch an episode with characters in the Oleson’s General Store. The Olesons had the cutest brown paper sacks for their merchandise.
You never know where you can find inspiration. I hope you give this simple brown paper bag craft a try!
