Diamond Post Medal for All Time! 1,246 Posts 
I don't always have spare containers or chip-clips handy (or have them at all) so I make my own airtight enclosures for my goodies using empty plastic drink bottles. My demo photos are coffee beans in a regular plastic bag, the other is a thicker plastic bag from chocolate chips. This method works with any bag as long as you don't bunch it up so the bottle-cap-screwing-action can still happen. Enjoy!
Total Time: 3 minutes
Supplies:
- 1 empty plastic bottle
- 1 serrated knife
- 1 bag of goodies
Steps:
- Carefully cut the top off of your empty plastic bottle.
- Unscrew the cap and push the top of the bag holding your goodies up through the spout of the bottle.
- Pull the bag through as far as it will go to push out all the air. The goodies will rise to the lip of the bottle top. Roll down plastic bag over the lip of the bottle. Screw on the bottle cap.
- Voila! Airtight!
