One of the favorite snacks of kid and slobs alike would definitely be potato chips. If you would give an award to the foodstuff that causes the most fattening among Americans, potato chips would definitely be up there with burgers, pizza and softdrinks in the pantheon. And because of their amazing packaging, great taste and oh so addictive dip possibilities, who can blame those people if they’d rather indulge in a good thing?
However not only does the annual consumption of potato chips raise cholesterol levels all around the world, it also causes another problem. All those amazing plastic packages you see coming with the yummy chips? If everyone in your community ate two to three potato chip packages in a day, then after a month you’d have enough to fill any good sized lake. Recycling is a wonderful option but can there really be any alternative uses for potato chip bags? Of course! Here are a few neat ideas for potato chip bag recycling:
*A Halloween Mask: You can create an amazing mask for Halloween or just scaring your kid sister silly by just snipping a few holes here and there and painting it in the creepiest way you can think of. And if you don’t like the idea of painting it or scaring someone with your costume, just wearing it as is can make you look really silly-in a cute way.
*Potato Chip Shoulder Bag: If you always thought potato chip bags were always made to hold better things than just salty chips, then your creativity will definitely be tested by creating this wonderful accessory to any workplace. By sewing together a few bags to cardboard or fabric lining. When this is done, sew a zipper and a couple of straps at the top portion. Voila! You are now the envy of the fashion world!
*Belt: If you want to be a real trendsetter in the field of postmodern or urban fashion, you can create a belt from potato chip bags by cutting a number of bags into strips depending on the length of your waistline. Weave them together to form a straight band while dedicating a few strips for the belt holder. When the belt has been formed, affix a buckle at the end that contains the belt holder. Bore four or five holes on the other end, so the loop can be clasped and you have a belt that will stand the test of any fashion critic!
