Making fun scrap books Recently we celebrated the Week of the Young Child in our community. We used the Ziploc Sandwich Bags and the kids made a project. We used duct tape on the side that didn't zip and used three bags to hold them together like a small scrap book. The kids drew pictures, about their family and inserted in each page. Kids loved it and were very creative.

Keeping erasers fresh To keep erasers from drying out and becoming hard and useless, store them in a Ziploc Bag. I am an artist and have many kinds of erasers.

Making greeting cards When I get ideas for making cards but I might not have time to make the project, I put the pieces in a Ziploc Bag with instructions or a website link. When making the same card, I put the "production line" in different Ziploc Bags. I make notes on the outside of each bag with measurements, names of paper colors, etc. Also, after I take a card class, I keep the examples and instructions in a ziploc.

Protected sewing patterns I use the gallon bags for sewing patterns that I have opened and used. The patterns are hard to refold to the original size. Just put the pattern envelope in the bag face up and put the pattern pieces and notes about the notions you used and seal it. They stay together and the pattern pieces don't get ripped, torn or worn.

Squishy fun with colors I use the quart and gallon storage bags for an easy sensory/art project for toddlers and preschoolers. Put shaving cream and different colors of food coloring in a bag and seal it.
