Reusable Lined Snack Baggies

Perhaps you already caught this tutorial when I shared it over at SevenAlive last week, but in case you didn’t, I’d like to show you a fun and simple sewing project that’s a great addition to any summer picnic basket set – a reusable, plastic-lined snack baggie.

Not only can you make use of some of the plastic bags they push on you at the grocery store (seriously – I think the only reason they withhold paper bags is to get me to buy their reusable bags), but you can also cut down on buying disposable plastic baggies and change it up with something cute and personal with a very simple sewing project.  That’s a  win-win-win, right? ;)

What you’ll need for each snack bag:


4-8 plastic grocery bags (I used 6)
Parchment paper
Iron 
Fabric scrap at least 7″x15″ (optional, it just makes it pretty!)
Sewing machine and general sewing supplies (scissors, rulers, pins, etc).

Part One: Fusing your plastic.  20 minutes.

A note about this.  You will be giving your plastic a gentle melt.  Yes, I said gentle, but I also said melt.  That means you should get good ventilation going.  I did not notice any fumes whatsoever (if you regularly use spray paint or any of the heavy-duty adhesives – those are far heavier on fumes) but when you’re talking about changing the composition of plastic, it comes with the territory that you should take common-sense precautions.  I said it was a feel-good project, but I didn’t mean you should achieve the feeling by sniffing fumes, LOL.

Flatten your bags and trim them down.  To do this, just trim off the bottom and the handles.  This will give you a tube-shaped sheet to work with.

Additionally, you my choose to remove the printed portion (totally optional – but I did, just to have a plain white section of plastic).  This will ultimately give you a decent-sized rectangular sheet once you open it up.  If you’re using large enough bags, you don’t even have to cut it open, you can leave it doubled up.



Trim two sheets of parchment paper.  Ideally, they will be larger than your plastic, but if not, don’t worry.  You can work with smaller sections at a time if you need to.  You can also reuse your parchment for fusing, so trimming off big sheets won’t go to waste if that’s a concern.  One goes under your plastic to protect your ironing board or whatever surface you’re ironing on, and the other goes on top of your plastic to prevent your iron from becoming a melted and burned mess. :)

I started with three bags – three layers.  Next time I will probably start with just two to make sure my initial fuse is nice and string before moving on.  If your plastic is doubled, definitely just start with one bag/two layers.  Because we’re sewing something small, it’s okay if every inch isn’t 100% perfect, but of course you want to do the best you can.


So, heat up your iron to the nylon setting.  You may need to end up going a little hotter (I had my best luck nearly to the polyester setting, but you can always go hotter if necessary.  You can’t un-melt plastic that’s gotten too hot, so start lower).  Iron it all over, moving your iron around a lot.  There doesn’t seem to be any trick, like moving in a straight line vs. a squiggly one – all you want to do is make sure that you only stay on any one section for a couple seconds.  Lift your parchment every 30 seconds or so to see if your plastic is fusing, or if it’s still in separate layers.  I found that once it started to fuse, it started to shrink a little, and get slightly wrinkly under my parchment.  So check it often once you start to notice that happening.



Once your first two sheets are fused, add another, and iron it again, adding layers one at a time until you have your desired thickness.  I used 6 sheets for a nice stiff plastic.  If you plan to pack a lot of sandwiches, you may want to go with fewer layers so that it’s more flexible (basically, so you won’t squish your sandwiches closing stiff plastic).  


This worked out great for a first try, but ideally, we will all eventually be so good at this that we get nice smooth sheets. ;) You can see in the photo below that mine is a bit uneven and wrinkly – partially due to starting with too many layers, and partially because I ironed a few places just a little too long.  (Like anything, though – practice makes perfect, right?)

But once your plastic is fused – you can sew with it, just like fabric.  (Cool, right??)  This is why it’s OK for a less-than perfect sheet of plastic – we will be making sure all the edges are sewn into our baggie.  


Part Two: Sewing your baggie. 15-30 minutes, depending on your experience level.

Trim your plastic down to a rectangle 7″ x 15″.  You may certainly use any dimensions you like (and the ending size of your plastic piece may dictate how big you can make it), I just found that this was most similar to a sandwich baggie size and I like it really well.  So, feel free to adjust, but I’m going to show you directions using 7″ x 15″.  If you are covering your baggie with fabric like I am, trim that to 7″ x 15″ as well.

Place your fabric patterned side down on top of your plastic.  If there is a smoother and a rougher side to your plastic, place the fabric against the smoother side.

You can pin it in place if you want, but I didn’t bother since this is a very simple shape to sew.  Sew nearly all the way around.  It will look like you are doing it wrong since you’re looking at the wrong side of your fabric.  Leave a 3″ hole on one of the sides.

It can be the side or either one of the ends – just don’t put the hole right by the corner, it’s more of a hassle to even it out if you do.  (When I make my next one, I will probably leave my hole on one of the ends!)  Once you’ve sewn nearly all the way around, stop.  

Trim the corners (being careful not to cut over the line you have sewn), and if you have a lot of excess fabric anywhere, trim that too.



Now find your hole, reach inside, and pull the insides out through the hole.  If this is the first time you’ve turned fabric, it can be a little alarming, because it can look horribly wrong.  Just keep going until you’ve turned the whole thing right-side out through the hole!



Pay extra attention to those corners – you may want to use a chopstick, a knitting needle, or a butterknife to press them out as square as you can get them.  Resist the urge to poke your scissors in there… you don’t want to poke a hole in your project now that we’re so close to being done.



Now, find your hole again, and turn the rough edges sticking out into the hole as best as you can.  You may want to pin it shut, though I didn’t bother.

Sew along one of your short ends, as close to the edge as possible.  (They call this topstitching – it just keeps your piece as flat as possible after you have seams sewn inside like that.)  If you left your hole for turning on one of your ends – then make that the one you sew shut here.  

I don’t feel like I got a really good photo pf what I mean, so take a look at this (ahem, low-tech) graphic, and sew along where I’ve put the dotted line.

Now, fold up your baggie.  You’re going to place your rectangle plastic-side up, with the line you’ve just sewn closest to you.  Fold it up, and then form your flap by folding the sewn edge back down again.  That sounds really confusing, I know, but take a look, here’s what it should look like.  I left 1/2 inch distance from the back of the baggie to the top of the fold, then gave it a 2- 1/2 inch flap.  If you had to cut your scraps a little short of 15″, you can make the flap 2 inches and it should still work well.



Now finally, sew from the bottom fold, all along the edge, until you get to the bottom at the other side.  



Which, once again, sounds confusing, so I made another graphic to show you what I mean – sew along the heavier dashed line.  (The lighter dashed line is the end you just sewed.)

And you are done!  Now, you have a baggie that can handle anything plastic can, that’s totally reusable – and pretty, of course!  Oh, unless this is for your little mister, in which case it’s probably not “pretty” at all – but I’m sure you’ve made a cool one for him. ;)

You can fill it up, and to close it, fold the flap over the back of the baggie to make a little pouch.



What I love about this is that it can handle things that are damp or may stain (for example, delicious Michigan raspberries, mmm!)



If that happens – you can rinse it right out.  



It is water resistant, but not totally waterproof along the seams.  So if you fill it with water, it will of course drip a little.  I would recommend hand-washing it in the sink and letting it air-dry – I’m not certain it will withstand something like the washing machine, though it will take quite a bit more abuse than a regular plastic baggie!

    Great project! I love the idea of recycling plastic grocery bags, but I’ve found an even better solution. I used the plastic bags from cereal boxes and my homemade sandwiches bags have stood up to a years worth of washing so far. You only need one inner bag from a box of cereal for each project. They are thick and waterproof without the difficult step of trying to melt the thinner bags together.

    I love this. I stumbled over your post when I searched for a small bag to keep my lunch cool when going to work, things like smoothies, yoghurt and so on. So another idea: why not use those cooling bags you can get at your supermarkt (I’m living in Germany so you can get them at Aldi or Lidl) instead of only plastic bags. You can clean it as well because of the plastic lining. I will definitely try that out ^^

    I love this whole project idea. It just occurred to me that the inner plastic liner bags in cereal boxes are both thicker than the market bags being ironed together in the project to make a thicker sheet (which might save a lot of time and work!), and guaranteed food-safe. Might be a good short-cut! I had been thinking about using the stuff for a while, and your idea just made it all come together for me – thanks!

    The plastic bags we get from Walmart have a HOPE #2 symbol on them. According to the seventh generation website, they are not known to leach toxins. This is the same plastic used in milk bottles, etc. The comment area will not let me enter the actual link. It tells me I have too many URLs.

    I’ve made similar baggies and sandwich wraps. Instead of fusing plastic bags together which may not really be food-safe, I’ve reused plastic cereal bags from boxes of dry cereal. I know it’s food safe plastic and it cuts out a potentially messy step.

    I agree. Using bags not specifically made for food would not be wise. Perhaps you can purchase food safe plastic? I wouldn't be inclined to use a bag from the grocer etc. there must be an alternative out there.

    I have been looking for a non plastic lunch bag solution for a while. the question I had here was… isn't this a plastic that will leach chemicals into the food? I don't suppose shopping bags are number 5 plastic. The danger does not arise only via microwaving.

  29. Adrianne at Happy Hour Projects says

    08/24/2012 at 1:15 pm

    I wouldn't microwave them. Even if the plastic can handle it (which I'm not 100% sure about?) that's how BPA's are released – by heating. You don't want to heat anything with food in it unless it's BPA-free (and this would include all plasticware that doesn't specifically say it's BPA free – like re-used cool whip tubs, butter dishes, any kind of plastic jugs). All of these plastic food storage items are fine in studies while refrigerated or kept at room temperature, but once you heat them up, that's when BPA's start leaching into foods.

    I tried this but the plastic store bags I have I can not seem to get to work I tried my iron on many different settings and the bags either do not fuse together or just melt completely. And then I thought about you mentioning melting the plastic and to do it in a good room with ventilation. Do you know if it is really safe to put food on the melted plastic??? Just curious…

      That was my thought too! These bags are meant to carry things and are probably not rated food safe. Toxins could be leaking into your food…..great idea, but I wouldn’t make it with questionable plastic….

    This is genius. I've wanted to make these for a while now but didn't want to go out and buy plastic or vinyl, etc. Using grocery bags is a great idea!

    This would be great for my “protect the environment” daughter. I might play with different sizes for sandwiches, etc. in lunch boxes. Thanks for the tutorial.

Hello, and welcome! I'm Adrianne, an artist, author, designer, and blogger in mid Michigan. I work from home, chase my two kids, and this once-city-girl is learning how to care for chickens and adjusting to life out in the country. I have a compulsion for daily creativity... sometimes it's jewelry-making, paper crafting, metal stamping, mixing and baking, or giving new life to recycled items. But with 2 young kids, time is short! My goal here at Happy Hour Projects is to share projects and tips that you can do in an hour or less. The ideas you find here are designed to add a little creativity in your day, no matter how much (or how little) time you have!
