Bagging Blossoms

velikipop · February 18, 2007

I will be bagging blossoms on my peppers this year and would like to find some info on how to make the bags. I've bought the material but would really like to get some idea on patterns and on cutting the material. Thanks in advance for the help.

Richard,

Thanks for the lead. Looks interesting, but I'm not sure if the tea bag will be big enough or how it will do when it rains. Appreciate your response.

I make mine out of tule/tulle that I get at Wally World. Like 88¢ a square yard. I think Wal*Mart spells it incorrectly.

The drawstrings are waxed carpet thread. A good friend with a serger on her sewing machine keeps me in good supply now.

The images should be somewhat self explanatory.

John,

Thanks for the pics, they are helpful. I bought my material at Wal-Mart as well and I think it is the same. Good tip on what to use for drawstrings.
