You know those plastic mesh produce bags that bulk fruit and vegetables come in? You probably just toss them in the garbage when you get home (if you do, you should always cut them up first so they don’t get trapped around wildlife!). But it turns out that these mesh produce bags can actually be used for an awesome, super easy DIY project for kitchen scrubbies by Common Sense Home!

Step 2: Cut the ends off the produce bags.

Step 3: Roll up three of the mesh bags into a donut shape. Set aside the bag that’s in the best condition for the outside of the scrubbie.
