Just thought I would share my idea on how I save money on my decorating bags....Bring out the "Seal-a-Meal" and buy a box of gallon size zip-lock-bags and you can make your own decorating bags. You get on regular size bag and if you like you can save the two small bag for small projects. You can leave the zipper seal at the top of the large bag or just cut it off with scissors. In the picture below I put the dotted lines on the bag so you could see where I used the seal-a-meal... "Seal-A-Meals" are super cheap on E-Bay.

This is a very interesting tip. How long have you used these bags? Do you ever have trouble with them "blowing out"?

GirlTrapped,
I've been using my bags like this for a few years now and I haven't had any problems with "Blow-Outs"....they work great....I used the regular style gallon zip-lock-bags or the freezer kind and I haven't had any problems.

Thanks for the great idea. Another DUH why didnt I think of that here! We have had a food saver for years. I'll have to check and see I can make bags with the food saver plactic bags too, they are seriously heavy duty.
