Make a Candy Wrapper Zipper Pouch!

[@NancyAbramson-c3d]

Very good video. Clearly explained how to manage the zipper from beginning to end.

I'm so glad it was helpful!

[@Sandrab769]

Awesome! Love all my KZbin teachers. Thx

[@selfesteem3447]

Great video❤ I bought a family sized bag of peanut M&M's with the ziploc up top & repurposed it as my change purse & to make sure it doesn't come open I fold it at the top & use a couple of office binder clips.

[@bayhillstudio]

That is awesome!

[@hillcountrycotton1563]

Love how you did your tabs! Thank you for sharing this tip!

[@robbiediles4242]

❤❤❤ this is truly adorable! The pull-tab add a nice touch😊

[@sherryfaires7931]

Great video tutorial! I learned a lot!

[@bayhillstudio]

Glad to hear it!

[@suekayknits4284]

just to let you know pellon 100 is the same as that vinyl and it is a lot cheaper

[@jenniferjoseph5725]

I was wondering. Thanks. I was wondering if Pellon 805-Wonder Under would work to adhere to the lining and no vinyl cover for the front of the candy bag. What do you think? 😊

[@tessiejewel]

Awesome tutorial! Very detailed and helpful. Do you have suggestions for which type of needle to use for this project and what type and length of stitch. Thank you!

[@bayhillstudio]

Glad you like it! I didn't use a special needle for this. Any standard needle will work fine. Stitch length -- I set mine at about 2 or 2.5, depending on the machine I'm using.

[@tessiejewel]

@@bayhillstudio Thank you! Im anxious to try the zipper tabs. My zippers have never looked good, so I like the tip to use the fabric tabs.

[@macheek64]

OMG! Love this ! Could you use potato chip bags??

[@bayhillstudio]

Yes, you can try just about any wrapper. Some wrappers will melt, others work great. It's just trial and error and every wrapper is a little different, so I say give it a try!

[@cyndeparsell9861]

I boxed the corners

[@bayhillstudio]

Great idea!

[@tessiejewel]

My bag came out really tiny. What seam allowance did you use when you sewed all the way around the bag the last time?

[@bayhillstudio]

I use a 1/4" seam allowance. The finished bag size will be different for everyone. It will depend on the size of the candy wrapper and on the seam allowance.

would a brayer help roll out the wrinkles? Pat C

[@bayhillstudio]

Possibly, it wouldn't hurt to try. However, these will for sure wrinkle back up as you use them.

[@maryannesgriccia1477]

Have you tried using blasts of hot air from a hair dryer to resolve wrinkling?

[@bayhillstudio]

I haven't. I personally don't mind the wrinkling at all - I even like it - but it sounds like a great idea. I would definitely test it out on a sample piece first. Good luck!

[@catty2chatty]

I find the hair dryer makes it easier to turn.

[@jenniferjoseph5725]

​@catty2chatty thanks. I was wondering if using a cloth or the vinyl paper back to iron gge bag smooth. I'd ljje my bag smoother looking.
