Like pretty much everybody, my family has a huge stash of plastic grocery bags used for scooping cat/dog poop, carrying things, you name it. We used to cram our bags into a cabinet in the kitchen, but my OCD and I really didn't like how disorganized that was, so I decided to make a neater, more compact one. It looks and works like a tissue box, the only difference is that it's bigger, and, well, it doesn't contain tissues.
Pretty nifty, eh? :D

You don't need much, just
Plastic Bags
I probably used about 75 bags. How many you use depends on how many you have and how deep your box is. Also, make sure your bags are all approximately the same size and shape.
A Cardboard Box with a Lid
Your box should be about 12" wide, 36" long, and 5" deep, but the depth can vary. Plastic bags are remarkably squishy creatures, and they can fit into pretty much any box depth. My box was a bit wider than I wanted, so I padded the edges with crumpled-up tissue paper. My measurements are for normal sized plastic grocery bags, you can adjust for larger or smaller bags.
Scissors/X-acto Knife.
For cutting a hole in the box's lid through which the bags can come out.
