Make plastic bags easier to handle

No need to fumble with flimsy plastic bags!

I have too much stuff in fictile bags : fertiliser , grass ejaculate , potting soil , and more . I found an easy way to varnish these bags tightly and even make a handy spout . commit a sturdy credit card jar with a snap - open top out of the recycling bin . rationalise off the top tail of the container , keeping the shoulder joint and hat . Take the lid off of the lip and feed the plastic udder through the bottom of the flange , fold the edges down over the threads . Screw the lid back on for a sozzled seal . Now your plastic purse has a handy open - and - pour spout.—Karen Beal , Key Largo , Florida
