Instead of sealing a bag with a peg or a rubber band you can get a better seal by using the top of a plastic bottle and lid. By the way I don't really seal my bags with a jumbo peg but that is all that I could find at 9pm. :-)
First cut below the neck of a plastic bottle and reuse the base in another project.
Neaten the edges if necessary.
When you want to pour out a few peas or whatever is in your bag, simply pour out the required amount and seal again with the lid. Easy peasy!
Of course, Tara does such a good job of making everything look easy I have to give you the link to the Better Homes and Garden episode. What do you think? Is that nifty or not?
Very nifty! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteRee, I'd probably only use the method for something like frozen peas. Tara suggests it would be good for storing rice and oats too but I am so super organised that I have containers in my pantry for that. LOL! Not always I must admit.
DeleteHow clever. I wonder at the thought process - "wait, I'll just put this bottle top on this bag!" I like how it acts as a pourer as well. Thanks for sharing this tip.

Barb, I wonder too how people come up with these ideas. Obviously I am lacking something in the creative thinking area.
DeleteGreat idea!! Very nifty! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Jeanneke. I must admit I had never seen this method of sealing plastic bags before.
