Recycle Bubble Wrap - 5 great DIY Ways to Reuse and Save Time and Money

Whether you just moved to a new place or received things in the mail, chances are you have some bubble wrap kicking around.  Before you simply toss it, check out these awesome ideas to recycle it!

1.  Line Veggie Drawers

If you just happen to have a refrigerator with the freezer on the bottom, one of the downfalls to this setup is the things in the veggie drawers have a habit of freezing or simply getting too cold.

Line the Veggie drawer with a couple pieces of bubble wrap and not only will this insulate against freezing, it will protect delicate fruits and veggies from bruising.


2.  Stop Frosted Car Windows

When the temps begin to dip, save on the scrapping the next morning, by laying a piece of bubble wrap on your windshield and holding it down with the wipers.

Simply take off and your windshield is frost free, saving you scrapping time. 

Store it in your car, as it can also be an emergency warmth insulator for yourself if you ever get stranded on a cold day.



3.  Insulating a Grocery Bag

If you are shopping on a hot day, and you don't have an insulated bag or cooler, then create your own insulator bag by lining a cloth bag with bubble wrap.  This will keep that ice cream cold until you get home.

4.  Bubble Wrap Chocolate Wafers!

I hope the above 5 have inspired you to recycle, reduce, reuse the best you can.  Bubble wrap is so useful for more than just popping the bubbles!  (I know everyone does this).

Popping the bubbles is a great stress reliever, so keep a few squares around for those types of days!
