Ways to use our beloved blue bag
We love FRAKTA blue bags for so many reasons: sturdy plastic, easy to clean, lightweight, inexpensive. And handles! What do you use yours for? Laundry, waste sorting, moving? Check our ideas from the lab for other ways to use and reuse our blue bags.
1. A super storage wall builds on the mix of what we’ve seen our bags used for like garden planters and musicians’ bags. We made an easy, inexpensive storage wall using FRAKTA bags and drew on them to show what’s inside.
2. A no-hassle kid’s craft apron can be made just by cutting the bag and handles. No sewing necessary! Our stylist Gen cut one for her daughter, Olivia, who happily tested it out for us in the lab. Clothes? Mess-free. Kid? All smiles.
3. A creative way to amp up style is to turn old blue bags into a room divider. We cut and sewed together a few bags to create an oversized, geometric look. Then we ironed, painted and poked holes to easily hang them up with string!
4. A ready-to-go picnic blanket takes sewing know-how, but it’s great for outdoors because blue bags are so durable. We used tea towels for the top and put a thin duvet in the middle for padding. Want one?
We love to see our customers get creative with our products. Go for it! But please note that altering or modifying IKEA products so they can no longer be re-sold or used for their original purpose, means the IKEA commercial guarantees and your right to return the products will be lost.
