Ziplock Bag/Bottle Drying Rack
|
"Looks really nice.... kind of like art really. Holds full sized water bottles and big gallon bags. Love it!" - review from Debra
Over 2,500 sold in all 50 USA states and seven countries. As seen on BuzzFeed's list: "27 Things From Etsy That Are Just Super Helpful". May 25, 2020 What makes this all-hardwood, handmade plastic bag drying rack unique AND functional is the mountain-shaped divider, inspired by Mauna Loa in my home state of Hawai'i. Just hook a ziplock-style freezer bag between the divider and a dowel or two and the bag STAYS OPEN and off the counter, making for FASTER DRYING. See 3rd photo! Holds as many as 6 water bottles, too! Use SHORT DOWELS ONLY FOR BOTTLES - the long dowels hold the bottle up too high causing the rack to tip over. Must have at least one on each side to keep rack from tipping over. |

Customize your drying rack for the size bags that you use most often. Select SHORT dowels (~8”) for quart-size bags or water bottles and LONG dowels (~12”) for gallon-size bags. |
This ziplock plastic bag drying rack is one small attempt to reduce unnecessary waste. Before I retired, I taught elementary school and I loved it. Except for lunchtime. Watching students throw brand new ziplock bags away - hundreds a week - made me a bit crazy. I showed my students my used, but durable, ziplock freezer bags and how they had been washed and reused daily. We talked about landfills and how plastic doesn’t break down. “Join me!” I challenged my students. “Wash, dry, reuse your bags, and reduce landfill waste!” Some actually did.
