How to Fold a Fancy Plastic Bag to Carry in Your Handbag

I am always carrying 1 or 2 plastic bags in my handbag. Just in case I need it for e.g. doing groceries. But it is mostly messy or straggling. So I think this is a very nice and fancy solution :-)!

I do this too and keep them everywhere. All my coworkers, church members, sports/band moms, everyone has known forever that I am the 'original bag lady'. Their name for me! I have a friend that made her kids sit and fold as punishment! Or they would fold while watching movies.
