I cannot wait to hear these words come out of my face, “I *NEED* to consume a bag of candy right now for a sewing project,”.

A trick to smooth the wrinkles a little more: turn your iron on high heat and iron the surface of your ironing board, then just rub your bag over the heated ironing board to “iron” it.

Oh man!! I have been away from my sewing machine for YEARS. I need to refamiliarize myself with it and put my stash to use. That vinyl stuff looks so cool. Oh the projects I can make. Thanks for reigniting the sewing flame that has been sputtering on a pilot light. LOL

Thank you for clear simple instruction without filler. I would have appreciated seeing you use the iron on the vinyl and stitching the fabric on the zipper end as those steps are new to me. Thank you. 💜

How clever..once again..now I have to go out and buy some bags of candy! Love it!

You explained that tutorial superbly. I've seen other tutorials how to make these but they don't talk you through as well as you have. Thanks Laura. I really love your tutorials.

My kids n grandkids are gonna love this. Specially if I put the candy in a Ziploc and put it inside. What a cute gift for Christmas. Thanks Laura, this was AAAAWWWWESOME

I think I am going to try this with all sorts of things in the vinyl sandwich: gift wrap, scrap book paper, maybe even extra copies of favorite photos!

Laura, you are giving me life... first with the measuring tape key fob I made...now this..... I see a M&M bags in my very near future... I'll post to your Facebook page when I make it..... I'm living for this... Jon

I love these, I been making them for a few years now I use any sweet or crisp packet, lovely to make fun for the kids. They work better if you put a linning in.

These would make great reusable sandwich bags for kids' lunches!

Another wonderfully explained tutorial and some excellent suggestions from others on here!!! Definitely add to my TO DO LIST 🙏🏼👏🏼

Genius :). I'm going to make bags for my grown children and grandbabe using photocopies of their childhood artwork and written notes. There are Endless applications for this Splendid idea. Thank you :)

You are so awesome. I dont sew, but you make the tutorials easy to understand. I actually feel like I could accomplish these great patterns you share. Loads of love

As usual, another great video! We're going to a Willie Nelson concert at Billy Bob's (TX), soon. You're only allowed to bring in a bag (max) 5.5" x 8.5". I'm now thinking of using a mini-print of the ad poster, instead of candy wrappers. Thanks!

Agree with many comments. Fun project...chocolate, not Skittles. And the idea given of pictures if you laminate both sides! Laura I like your enthusiasm and the projects, like this and reversible valance that don't require patterns. Thank you.

I'm going to use this for my daughters school recycling project along with cereal box notepad, cereal cox folder..capri-sun bag and a skittles pencil pouch!! she's learning to sew and this will be so cute!!

Great tutorial! You are excellent at explaining the process. And so cute to boot! Thank you!

Love your easy to follow videos. Thank you!

Wow, you make everything look easy. I have thought of sewing the black sunflower seed bags.

We just emptied a Skittles bag while waiting out Hurricane Irma. I will go get a zipper and make one of these for a young girl who came to our house with her family when they were evacuated. She will love it. Thanks for the tutorial!

What a fun project! Thanks for sharing!

What a hoot! A candy bag 😂. So creative. Thank you for the video 😊👍💕

They look really nice and unique!

How Very Clever! I didn't even know there was such a thing as fusible, vinyl. Thank you so very much for making and sharing this video with us.

I love it. You can do this with so many other items as well. Thanks!

Omg! Binge watching your channel. I reuse so many things but you have given me ideas i never thought of. I used the iron vinyl to make a blotter for my daughters desk and cover a vintage chair to match her rom decor of beauty and the beast bedsheets and rose fabric accents.

Just found this video! Great directions. Thank you. This is the cleverest idea!! I made my first 'practice' one with a Tater Tot bag. It's so cute. I wondered about the copyright thing if I sold them at a craft fair. Hint: Before turning the bag I blew my hair dryer into my bag for about 5 seconds to soften the vinyl which made turning it was very easy. Thanks again for the video.

Just discovered this product + love it! 💕 JOANN’s has it in stock. Candy bags are so cute! Thx

That is so creative! I love it. I think I'll give it a try.

What a cute idea for children's pencil case!

Hi and thanks a lot , Laura, for another fun tutorial! 😎🌸

What a cute idea!! Children would love this! Some adults too I think. LOL.

I made one of these but I didn't use the heat and bond vinyl. I used clear contact paper and it worked perfectly!

I have some cool bags that Asian foods came in & will try this with them. Thanks for the info

love your cool ideas.Thanks

Another super idea. Thank you.

I love it!! Great idea for a child's pencil case!!

Cool product, cute result, pass me a bag of sweeties 😋

How cute - - and looks easy enough. Thanks.

Great tutorial! Hope you can get the product in the UK

Love this, thanks for sharing.

Great idea!!! Your grandkids must have a ball with you. Arts and crafts with grandma!!!!Eileen Jones

Cute. I think my granddaughter will love this!!

Genius Idea, Thxs for sharing.

Neat idea cool also a great way to recycle and eat candy, bonus!!!!!

I can honestly say, I wish ALL my professors were as wonderful in explaining and showing how to do your tutorials. You are wonderful, and so pleasant. Thank you for coming into my crafts way of life. I enjoy it so much more. Mary K. INGRAM

I love your tutorials!! I ALSO like making bags like this... I'm going 2 make one for my daughter.. She will love it. Even though she's almost 25.

Add a fabric lining and it gives it a little more body these are cute!!

What a great idea. Thank you

I love the way you construct these candy bags, Laura. And the pink and yelliw log canin quilt behind you is gorgeous. Do you have a pattern for this quilt top?

I saw this at a craft show but I was told the bags came this way from Taiwan. Now I know better. Halloween is a great excuse to buy lots of candy.

Great idea with the holidays coming you could use them to put gifts in.....and get to eat candy

Do you think you can use a bag with a seam on the back. Love your tutorials. So easy to follow.

Very cute idea!

Love this idea!

So cool! Can’t wait to try it. Laura, I always have trouble with using a longer zipper. I’m afraid to stitch over it and break my needle. Do you hand sew it?

Adorable. TFS.

I need some m&m's . Love it!!! Thanks! 👛🌈🍬🍭

You know these would be great pencil bags for the kiddies at school.

That is AWESOME!!

Such a fun project

Love this! My son wants me to do this with Tobacco pouches.

Fantastic!

Very cute!!!!

What to do about the sewing needle getting stuck with the sticky vinyl?

Hi Laura what size needle did you use? And what about the thread what sort did you use?

Great idea! Kids will love them! Us adults too!

very nice tutorial, thank you. I would add a cotton lining instead of clear tape,it looks slightly unfinished, not so cosy. I also saw in other tutorial that regular wide clear tape was used to cover top of the sweets bag with no ironing needed. This is just another way to laminate it.

can you use normal DC fix it looks the same as the heat film but stick on its own no heat

That is so cute love that idea

Your vedio is truely fabulous to learn great vedio

Love it.

Love it thank you

fun sweet idea 😜

Do you cover your ironing board with anything special so the extra vinyl on the edges doesn't adhere to it? Especially when doing the first side.

OMG, why wasn't I saving the Skittles bags my son comes home with at least once a week! Maybe I'll have to start getting some of these just for me ;)

Sweet!

Super idea thanks

Thanks for the instruction! Why does it need iron-on vinyl when the candy bag is already of a similar finish?

Could you not have laminated them? Or is the HnB better?

That's cute!

Laura did you lengthen or shorten your stitch length any due to the vinyl. Thanks.

Thank you this helps. Could you line the bag?

Lovely idea. Especially when the one comment said something about making them from photocopies of grandkids artwork, etc. That would be so fun to have. 1 question, as I am not a "sewer" and just dabble now and then (your things often are just perfect for "dabbling". LOL) - you show sewing over and then trimming the one side on the zipper, but as you are right-side-outting the bag I can see the other end is still sticking past the bag edge. Do you do anything with that side? I'm unclear on that part. Thanks so much, love your videos.

Wonderful

Cute, cute, cute!

love this. no guilt candy consumption lol

Thermo web iron on vinyl from ebay - look out for free postage in the UK. I think it should perform similar to this product. £4.99 for half a meter by 33cms. I hope to have some fun with this oroduct. Thank you Laura.

Cute!

DO you need to use the vinyl? Could you just omit that part? I'm trying to use less plastic

Very cute for kids.

wonder if there's any issues with copyright if you were making these to sell ... they are so much fun!

Great👏👏👏👏could you please let me know the exact name of the vinyl and where can I get it??? Thank you!!!!

I’m going to round off my bottom corners. You can put one type of candy bag on one side and another type on the other side, I.e. skidded in one side and MnM’s on the other. Since I don’t eat candy, I’ll have to wait until Halloween and save the wrapping from the candy I give out. Ha ha.

so good

Can you use the vynal on fabric or just plastic please?

Awesome

QUESTION: Can you use this same vinyl on fabric or is that a completely different product? I've been wondering about this for making bags to keep the bottoms clean.

Lovely, did you know you can put small chocolate and chip packets on a baking tray, low heat, they shrink and you punch a hole in one corner, place a split ring through hole and a new key ring is born!
