I like your ideas, except for the first one. Using plastic bags for making a kite runs the risk of the plastic blowing into a waterway and causing havoc with the environment. Even if it gets stuck in a tree it could cause trouble for wildlife.

I mainly reuse mine for shopping and as produce bags, and sort my recyclables into them each week for collection. I have big cloth totes but I also take plastic bags every time I shop. Once you get in the habit it's easy to remember. I keep some in the car and most of them by the door.
