Tools and Materials
1. Flip the First Ziplock Inside Out
Okay, first things first—you’ll want to flip one of your ziplock bags inside out.
Why? This helps ensure that the sides are nice and flat, making the process so much easier.
The smoother and flatter the bag is, the better it will seal.
2. Fill the Second Bag
Now, place whatever you're storing inside your second ziplock bag.
3. Place the Inside-Out Bag Over the Bag with the Item
Take your inside-out ziplock bag and carefully place it over the first one.
But here's the key—make sure the grooves of the ziplock closure mechanism line up with the “teeth” of the bag’s closure.
This is how ziplocks lock, and it’s crucial to align them properly for a solid seal.
