Help me save these off-cut pieces of fabric from landfill, by making them into useful snack bags and ziplock bags for you
Whether you call them Snack bags, Wetbags or Ziplock bags, they have the same goal: To replace one-time plastic and disposable ziplock bags! You don't realise how useful a reusable ziplock bag is, until you make the swap...
These snack bags and wetbags, are handmade by myself, using a fabric called Pul: which is a polyester fabric with an eco laminate layer sprayed onto the inside. This has been certified as food-safe: meaning it is Lead and BPA free. This laminate makes the fabric waterproof and is the same fabric used for the outside of modern cloth nappies
Here are some suggestions for their use:
Wet swimmers
Modern Cloth Nappies
Phone Charges
Protecting your phone in your bag or at the beach
Personal Hygiene products
Mask bag
Items for travelling
Medication
Toys
Dummies
Teething items
The Wetbag and XL Wetbag are perfect for replacing plastic bags: sports shoes, a change of clothes, swim bag
Snacks and food Anything you would use a ziplock bag for !
When using for food: Food made the same day will stay nice and fresh. But ideally cannot be pre-prepared overnight, as this is too long for air to get in through the zip. There is more information in the fabric and care tab. For a fully air tight reusable snack see Sinchies reusable poucheshere

I purchased these wet bags to take on my overseas holiday, packed to hold medications and chargers/ cables. Once I arrived I then used the bags to hold food in while out and about and they were the perfect size to fit in a handbag without overcrowding. Super handy and such good quality.

This is the second set I've bought, not because the old ones are worn out! those are still going strong, these were a gift for a friend and she loves them. Especially the fabric.
