Want to know how to close a chip bag without a clip or rubber band? This trick has been saving my snacks from getting stale for years!
So you’re in a hotel, or your car, or even in your house, and you can’t find a clothespin or chip clip for your half-eaten bag of chips. You could put a rubber band around the whole thing, but that crushes the chips.
But there’s a really easy way to close a snack bag, and it takes just a few seconds! The result will be an airtight bag that will stay closed until you need more snacks. I’ll give you some step-by-step directions, or you can just go to the bottom of the post and watch the short video.
Step 1: Folding
Fold the bag two or three times. If you can’t fold it two times, the bag is too full for this trick.
Step 2: Folding To The Middle
Next, with the folded part in the back, fold each side in towards the middle. For a bigger bag, the sides will meet in the middle. For a smaller bag, they’ll overlap a bit.
Step 3: Turn The Folds Inside-Out
Last, you fold the back over the front, while pushing the front under – you’re basically turning the folded parts inside out.
And that’s it! You’re done!
