At the last minute you decide to take cookies to a friends house or to give as a gesture of appreciation.
You bake the cookies and decorate them just how you pictured but then you discover you don't have a paper plate or even a nice clear gift bag to put them in.
Never fear the Ziplock bag is here!
I found myself in this predicament just the other day and hated the idea of giving my cookies away in a lame plastic bag.
I remembered I had some gift ribbon and hatched a plan.
I placed my cookies 5 high in the plastic sandwich bag and left the zipper undone. Then I gathered the top to tie a ribbon. When I started to gather the top of the bag the zipper started to twist and curl into a cute pattern. I tied the top with a ribbon and curled it.
Ta-Dah! My cheap plastic sandwich bag was now as cute as could be.
I was very proud of myself and had to share this with you. Also if you don't like the corners of the bag sticking out you can always tuck them under the bottom of the bag securing it with some clear tape.
Moral of the story: Don't be afraid to put something in a plastic bag if that is all you have.
