Do you sometimes come across a special plastic bag? One, so pretty, special or funny that you will use it again and again? Here is what we sometimes do with those bags:
1. Take beloved bag - here picturing Findus the swedish cat, invented by
Sven Nordquist - and cut out illustration.
2. Wipe the backside with a damp cloth.
3. Place the illustration on the fridge (which should be clean and dry) and use the cloth to wipe from the middle of illustration in all directions. Done.
This idea comes from my grandmother. She used to do this in the seventies with art-bags from the danish food chain Irma.
To make people keep and use the plasticbags again and again (and to come shopping again), they asked a new artist every month to illustrate their plastic bags. So my grandmother had her own exhibition in the kitchen back then :)
Irma still makes art-bags. In 2010
Mia Villaume made a bag. I wouldn't mind having one of her paintings on my fridge.
Still there is the pollution aspect... even though this is an idea to re-use plasticbags, we shouldn't buy them at all.. I know. We try to use willowbaskets, and the plastic-bags we do have, are being used many times, but still..
