Snack bags

[Ayla]

Aren't these snack bags (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6070468&section_id=5644860) a great idea? They don't look that hard to make either...

[~*heket*~]

That's a really nice idea! They're perdy too.

I know a womyn who was pist about the takeaway rubbish she disposed of at lunchtime so she started taking her own lunch but the wrappings were still disposable so she takes her s/w wrapped in cloth now.

Lovely but at that price I'd make them myself!

[Ayla]

That's what I was thinking ;) We could do that on one of our community days, wdyt?

[3littlechicks]

do you think that it would be airtight and keep the food fresh?

[Ayla]

I doubt it, they're made of cloth and velcro.

[f1800229]

could you make the same type of set up with PUL? would it keep things fresh then?

[~*heket*~]

That's a good idea!

[Ayla]

I don't know about PUL, maybe experiment and report back with your findings? :D

And jic the link disappears in the future, the dimensions are


Dimensions (exterior):
large bag- 6.25 X 6.25 inches

If they are snack bags you are only presumably using them for an outing for the day so they don't need to keep things super duper fresh, I wouldn't keep wet things in them anyway ie cut fruit, more for things like nuts/dried fruit/crackers/breads etc

Found this today and then just saw this thread so thought I would post in case anyone is interested :).

I'm not sure how practical they would be but they do look rather cute :D

[Hera]

Yeah, I think they would be ok for short term use for things like dried fruit and crackers and easy for little ones to open up too.

Thanks Ayla :D

We had snack boxes and have just started making them up again. The bags wouldn't really work for us - too much spillage :( A flat bottomed box (have dreamed about bento boxes) with an easily broken seal works best for us.

What do people put in theirs?
