10 Handy Uses For Space Bags

4. Kids Art Work

This one has been a recent discovery for me as I desperately tried to sort out the tsunami of art work that my kids have done this year. One whole year packed and vacuumed into one medium bag. Priceless.

5. Baby Stuff

All those lovely clothes and toys that your kids got when they were born and you can’t quite give them up – now they can be shrunk to a more manageable size. Space bags will also keep them free from vermin, mould and moisture.

6. Lego

The perfect transport bag when moving house to put all of those hot coals in and vacuum them up tight so you don’t end up with Lego pieces through out the removalist van.

7. Camping

Camping or caravan bedding. By storing them in space bags, it makes it a lot easier to carry about the pillows, blankets bedding. Take with you anywhere you are staying at that requires you to bring your own linen. It’s also a great way to pack your ingredients and food.

8. Craft Storage

For all you dressmakers and knitters out there that are swamped with fabric and yarn. Pack it up, shrink it up and now it will fit nicely under the bed!

9. Linen

Spare towels and linen. If you are like me, you have your favourite sheets and towels that you like to use but your linen cupboard is bulging. Pack it all up and now your linen cupboard can fit all your space bags as well.

10. Tax receipts

Those delightful bits of paper need to be kept for many years, so package them up and vacuum them up. Now you will have plenty of room in your filing cabinet again!
