Sealing bags with an iron

I taught myself how to seal plastic bags for craft supplies that needed a closed bag. Here is a quick tutorial on the method I found worked best.

This works! It was a lifesaver when I needed it most ..nine years later!!

[@rock0228maggie]

I was about to purchase an Impulse sealing machine online to seal small items when I decided to open another browser and search on youtube for a DIY sealing bags. I watched your video and immediately decided to do it your DIY way and it saved me money too. I encourage you to do more videos that has an impact on commerce such as this; shipping or packing ways as an alternative for those looking for alternatives.

[@LittleBirdieFlyinHigh]

You won’t be saving money in the long run. A heat sealer does the job 3/4 times faster. Time is money.

[@justinbuyukozer3663]

This worked amazingly well! I am surprising a friend with a care package. In it, I put Party Mix, but I wanted to take out the chips he doesn't like and fill it with all the chips he does like. It resealed the chip bag surprisingly well. Thank you! I think he's going to love his surprise!

[@arbythepainter]

[@AryanKumar-jo1pz]

Thanks so much
I am trying to make an ice bag specifically for my laptop so that it doesn't overheat
of course, gonna be using a towel around the keyboard so that the *condensed water* doesn't leak into the keyboard and do water damage

[@Greenw1nk]

Hah ha! It works. Thank you so much for this video. BTW, i'm doing this to make smaller bags for my crafts from larger baggies. For those wondering who's doing this to bag the weed. Lol.

Very nice

[@baduraldeenali2411]

Useful work.. thanks

[@domilinvlog7379]

Nice... thank you 😍😍😍

[@crystalscherer]

Neat idea. If I were to do this lots, I would spend the $20 for a plastic bag sealer, like iTouchless BR001U Bag sealer. Just glue a magnet on the back and hang it on the fridge. It also works for chip bags.

[@MrMongomoryST]

I wonder how many people watched this so that they can bag weed

[@arion2728]

You got me :)

[@moonwalker0130]

SoJayTay same

[@beautysolutions87]

SoJayTay 😂😂😂

[@bradley1995]

SoJayTay man when i was pushing nd i ran outta bags id put it in grocery bags. This works i guess if your only selling gram bags and you got all day and your to lazy to run to the store nd buy 100 baggies for 2 bucks

[@rhinodesign8807]

Ya got me...

[@joannamariepatingo5696]

[@laurieudall4159]

Thanks... I'm making Christmas treat bags... perfect for sealing and putting a decorative card topper at the top! I'm not ready to invest in a sealer.

[@ilyvs3796]

Is there any alternative I can use for foil?

[@LittleBirdieFlyinHigh]

Parchment paper. But foil is better.

[@pritydhan2193]

Will this work for pvc curtains

[@juliajohn935]

Nice.

If I'm welding plastic film with an iron I use a fan, or fan heater on cold, to blow away any fumes. Just a thought

[@televisionkid7783]

this was really helpful, thank you! :)

[@oluchi_theresa]

Hello, please I need your help
I tried this but the plastic wasn't sealing, it wasn't even melting, and when I burned it, it burned like paper.
I think I got the wrong film material. Please what is the name of this plastic material?
Please reply

[@nokuthularadebe2414]

Thank you...wow it really works!

[@pearcemadhlambudzi4733]

Where can I get those crispy plastic bags. Under what name to they go by.

[@ericgrajeda2671]

I have a music CD and DVD I want to shrink wrap yet will the iron work on Polyolefin plastic bags. The bag melts or seals at 250 to 350 degrees.

[@frankiezzzzzz100]

Awesome thank you

[@JohannasHair]

THANK YOU!

[@brainFriedSindrome]

will a hair straightener work??

[@HandMadeByKristen]

I would thing so, just make sure the heat setting is low.

[@Nura853]

great idea! thanks! I tried sealing my bags using the hair-straightener and it does good!

[@stacythefancybogan4543]

I wonder if bags like this would hold a small amount of paint.

[@enechukwunonelikegod2723]

Do I need to make the iron hot
Plz make me understand

[@Titilayo65]

Thank you for this great idea… is there an alternative other than the aluminum foil?

[@WhatRella]

Parchment paper or regular paper

[@Realism91]

Going to try this to make a stream bending bag/vacuum bag instead of ordering it online.

[@alinceusan]

2022 still working

[@xdnqnvxdnqnv]

Thanks!

[@speedbird227]

Here I am trying to bag an actual product instead of bagging weed.

[@EASsirenVids01]

same. Trying to bag a hex key for a Fire Alarm Pull Station.

[@MrArtVein]

Well weed is a legal product most places with a doctor's note

[@ViveUltimate]

awesome, thanks for this!

[@empenguin6214]

What temperature does it have to be?

[@iskandarputra_]

Thanks !!

[@hiiiitherehaha]

I can trust you because you are an adult, unlike the kids who talk about sealing bags with glue. Can you also seal with parchment paper?

[@HandMadeByKristen]

Think that would work, it is more to protect the iron from melted plastic anyway so it should be ok.

[@mikeerace6177]

Thankz a lot .... ☺👌

[@yol1110]

What is the size of the bag and the brand

[@abyzislam4821]

For me, the plastic gets stuck with foil, any solution?? Thanks.

[@nirupachadha6345]

Abyz Islam temp must b too high or bag gsm is thin.

[@RelaxingSounds-rr6vy]

What kind of bags are those

[@CG-fb9fx]

Ok what exactly is the the type of plastic bag being used ?

[@sivmith06]

and how about liquid ? like an oil. is it works?

[@jayeshbhil750]

Peking beg kharidani hai to kya aap seling karte ho

Wow I needed to seal up some coffee ,creamer & sugar for my B.O.B. & I never though of this to bad you can’t suck out the air .
