10 Sustainable Ways to Upcycle the Pure Zone Self-Fabric Bags

10 Sustainable Ways to Upcycle the Pure Zone Self-Fabric Bags

by Lisa Levi July 24, 2024

Here at Pure Zone, we’ve committed ourselves to operating our business in a way that not only creates healthy, happy homes for you- our wonderful customers, but also considers the impact of what we send out on the environment. Our products are designed with sustainability in mind, from the materials we use to the packaging they come in. 

You might have noticed our Bamboo bedlinen now comes in beautiful self-fabric bags. These bags offer a stylish and practical way to store your bedlinens when they’re not in use, ensuring they stay clean and organised. However, our team has also been enjoying finding fun and innovative ways to repurpose the bags - we thought we’d share them with you!

Here are 10 creative ways to repurpose our self-fabric bags that our Bamboo bedlinens come beautifully packaged in.

1.TRAVEL ORGANISERS 

    This was the most suggested use for our self-fabric bags - Keep your suitcase tidy and your items easily accessible by using self-fabric bags to separate toiletries, electronics, shoes and other small items. These bags can help you categorise your belongings, making it easier to find what you need without digging through your entire suitcase. This not only saves space but also makes packing and unpacking a breeze, ensuring that your clothes and other items remain neatly arranged throughout your trip. It also makes you look uber organised if you need to open your case at checkpoints along your travels.

    2. MAKE UP BAGS

      The smaller self-fabric bags are perfect for storing makeup and beauty products or hair styling tools, helping you keep everything organised and preventing spills in your handbag or luggage. By keeping your beauty essentials in a dedicated self-fabric bag, you can easily access them whenever needed, whether at home or on the go. The breathable and natural material also helps to prevent any buildup of moisture, keeping your products in great condition. We love that you can just throw them in the washing machine to clean when needed. 

      3. CRAFT SUPPLY HOLDERS

        If you're into crafting, we think these bags are ideal for storing your sewing kits, knitting supplies, or other craft materials. Their portability makes it easy to take your projects on the go, whether you’re heading to a class or simply moving between different rooms in your home. Keeping your supplies organised in these bags can also inspire creativity and efficiency in your crafting process.

        4. SNACK BAGS/ FOOD STORAGE

        Use the bags to carry snacks for work, school, or travel or to store items in the kitchen such as bread and baked goods. They are reusable, washable, and a great eco-friendly alternative to plastic bags. Keep some handy with your shopping bags to use for fresh produce at the supermarket. Using these bags can reduce your reliance on single-use plastics, contributing to a more sustainable lifestyle. They also look super chic.

        5. JUNK DRAWER ORGANISERS

        Whether we want to admit it or not, most of us have one of these drawers of doom, where rubber bands, batteries, pens and other miscellaneous items end up. Transform self-fabric bags into a practical solution for organising your junk drawer by using bags to separate and categorise items. The bags can be labelled for easy identification of contents, making it easier to find what you need when you need it. 

        6. JEWELLERY STORAGE

        Prevent your jewellery from getting tangled by storing necklaces, bracelets, and earrings in separate bags. This keeps your jewellery or sunglasses safe and organised, especially when travelling. Using self-fabric bags for jewellery storage can also protect your pieces from scratches and damage. 

        7. GIFT BAGS

          Self-fabric bags make beautiful and eco-friendly gift wrapping for small presents, flowers or pot-plants. By choosing self-fabric bags as gift wraps, you’re not only reducing waste but also adding a personal and thoughtful touch to your presents. Your loved ones can then reuse them, continuing the cycle of sustainability.

          8. MINI FIRST AID KITS

            Create a portable first-aid kit with essentials like band-aids, antiseptic wipes, and pain relievers. Keep it in your car, bag, or at home for quick access in case of minor emergencies. Having a mini first-aid kit on hand can provide peace of mind and readiness in everyday life. 

            9. STATIONERY POUCHES

              Organise your pens, pencils, and other stationery items in self-fabric bags. They are great for students, professionals, or anyone who loves to keep their desk neat. The portability of the bags also allows you to take your essential supplies with you, whether to a meeting, class, or a study session at a café.

              10. PORTABLE GAMES KIT/ TOY BAGS

                Keep small board game pieces, puzzles, cards, or travel-sized games in bags for easy play on the go. This ensures you never lose pieces and can enjoy games anywhere. Self-fabric bags provide a convenient solution for storing and transporting game components, making it easy to bring your favourite games along on trips, to family gatherings, cafes or to a friend’s house. 

                BONUS: STORAGE FOR BULKY ITEMS

                The extra-large bags that our Quilts come in are perfect for storing bulky items such as winter clothing, extra blankets, or out-of-season linen. Their size also makes them perfect for storing seasonal items like Christmas decorations, keeping these items protected and neatly organised until you need them again. These bags can help you maximise your storage space and keep your home clutter-free. 

                We hope these ideas inspire you to find creative ways to repurpose your Pure Zone self-fabric bags. By reusing these bags, you not only add convenience and organisation to your life but also contribute to a more sustainable environment. Remember, the possibilities are endless, so get creative and think of other ways to repurpose your self-fabric bags!
