Small Storage Solution

My wife convinced me I should post this....  so here it goes.  

After the holidays this year we had many small amounts of this and that that needed stored, Easy-Bake Oven ingredients, Makit & Bakit Suncatchers crystals, etc.  Since there wasn't a good solution readily available I tried to come up with one.

If you have a FoodSaver (or similar food sealer) and snap seal bags (any size) you are in business.  Scissors and small funnel are also helpful.

Step 1: Gather supplies

FoodSaver
Zipper seal plastic bags
Scissors
Funnel

That is really a smart and useful idea indeed! Thanks to your wife for convincing you to share it with us! So far, we have made use of small plastic or glass bottles to store the bits and pieces but they take up too much space on the cabinets and for those really little amounts, the bottles are way too huge for them. These tiny plastic storage bags really do the trick and their sizes can be gauged according to only the space that we need. I do not have a food sealer though. Perhaps it is time to get one for the long run.

Muy buena idea, para guardar las resistencias separadas por valor, ni siquiera seria necesario recortar las bolsas, sol usar los separadores

good idea, we can use the bags all together and have a kind of organizer

I'm having one of those "why didn't I think of that" moments.

Great idea, thanks.

I never realized I could melt that kind of plastic with a gadget that lost it's appeal years ago and am glad I never got around to donating it.

I can see myself making some custom bags that are the size of my TV controllers (to keep 'em from getting sticky) and look forward to finding other things that need custom sized bags...Purr-fect!!

I've got a vacuum sealer but never got around to getting the bags for it so it has just been sitting. I've also be racking up an impressive collection of different size resealable bags I use for organization. It's a marriage made in heaven.

Makes me want to go out and buy a vacuum sealer!
