This wreath was SO easy to make.  I had never created any decorations with a trash bag before but I’ve got to say it was very easy and smelled great too!  I picked up some Hefty Ultra Strong Kitchen Trash Bags with Arm & Hammer Odor Control at Walmart and was pleased to see that that bags were priced lower than Glad!

The bags I purchased were scented with Lavender & Sweet Vanilla and as I cut them they scented the air in the dining room (Lucy our dog thought the scent was great!).  I’m excited that I have most of the box of Hefty Ultra Strong Kitchen Trash Bags to use in our trash can.  I’m can’t wait to test out the Arm & Hammer patented odor neutralizer and experience a fresher smelling kitchen!

The Hefty Ultra Strong Kitchen Trash Bags are Hefty’s best kitchen bag ever and have great features like Active Tear Resistant Technology for superior strength and a break resistant grip drawstring.  I think it will be amazing to pull a heavy trash bag out without worrying that the drawstring will rip out or that something will poke a hole in the side of the bag.  I love that the bags are Jon Cena tough!
