Plastic Bag Dispenser

I had a voluminous plastic bag which was full of another 50-60 small plastic bags (the ones we get from grocery stores) collected over a period of time. The big bag used to be hanging on one of the hooks in the kitchen and would give a shabby look when seen from the living room. I always thought of how I could approach this problem and give it a creative and permanent fix! The idea of a 'Plastic Bag Dispenser' was exactly something that I was looking for!

Its a simple DIY dispenser. I folded all the bags uniformly from both ends like this:

Then twisted and rolled the upper end of the bag:

Kept rolling the bag till it reached halfway. Place the next bag over the first one and start rolling again:

 Make a roll of all bags:

To hold the roll tight, I squeezed it in an empty badminton shuttle cock box:
 

I punched in two big sized holes at the centre of the plastic seals at both the ends which would be the actual dispensers:

Pulled out the twisted end of the bag through the hole and fixed the seal in its place:

As the size of bags that I had were small-medium I could fit in two rolls at both ends of the box:

To make the box look attractive, I could have wrapped a gift paper around. But as its going to be in the drawer that doesn't really matter I thought! It has been an incredible DIY activity which I never thought could closely match to what I was looking for as an improvement since long!
