 Add a cute label to a Crush strawberry soda or strawberry plant.














Need to seal a cellophane bag without purchasing an expensive sealer? Use an old curling iron or flat iron. The bags need to b Cello or Cellophaneir.gif to work. Cookies, candies, favor items and anything needing to be kept fresh -work well in a sealed bag. Place the items in the cello bag and place the bag between the heated curling iron hold in place 5 - 15 seconds (depending on the temperature). You might need to seal it again if your curling iron isn't hot enough. Beware - flat irons are extremely hot. I turn my flat iron on and then unplug it to let it cool enough that it doesn't melt the cello. The cello bags seem to do better with a flat iron that isn't sizzling hot.  Sealing a cello bag with a curling iron is the same premise as using an industrial impulse sealer.
