Intro: Recycled Bottle Tops to Seal (preserve)open Plastic Packets

Last month I came across a random Facebook picture ( the kind that circulates itself through friends’ walls and you glance at it, maybe hit a like button, and then move on forgetting all about it 30 seconds later ) and fell in love with it. This one had a sliced off bottle cap sealing an open plastic bag.

Its very useful while surviving.

it is important to seal food packet after using it.so it will be useful method.

STEP 1: Material

You need:

Used plastic bottles Sharp,

heavy scissors

A Kitchen towel or soft cloth

STEP 2:

Wash and dry the bottle.

Using the scissors, make a puncture about 1-2″ from the ring.

Slide the scissor in into the puncture and cut it out in a circle.

STEP 3:

Slice the top of the plastic bag neatly.

STEP 4:

Gather the folds and insert the ring, and pull up the ends creating a ‘neck’.

STEP 5:

Seal the cap tight. You might have to push it down a bit to make the cap onto the ring.

STEP 6:

Note:

For thicker plastics, it’s wiser to use sturdy bottle caps with a wide mouth – like a juice bottle. For thin plastics, you can use water bottle caps. If the plastic is too stiff, then transfer to a more pliable bag, like a bread plastic bag, and then use the cap method to seal it.

STEP 7:

WOWWW! My idol!! I hate single use containers getting thrown away, and potentially you can transport all kinds of food and drink safely, seal it well, and it will exactly fit the spaces you have to put it in to transport it. Like a tough tough zip bag that won't leak. You could totally use and re-use this through your wilderness campaign like your finest tupperware without batting an eyelash. Even water, and ~pour it via spout. Thanks for your ideas.

I really liked this idea! I cut up a Poland Springs (1.5 gal) top and used it on my Cheerios bag! Loved it and the whole bag stayed fresh until it was empty! Thanks for Sharing, I really thought it worked great! Amy Pond
