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.

Decide what size storage bags you want and place bag on sealing strip.

Seal

After you seal it make sure it cools for a few seconds before you peal it off the sealing strip.

Cut

You can either leave it as a multiple compartment bag or carefully cut it into smaller individual bags.

Fill the Bags

For smaller items you might want to use a funnel.

Many Uses...

Snack bags can be used for tiny things.  Gallon size bags can be used to make pencil bags, travel bags for plasticware, etc.

Good luck!
