Default See thru bag thingies

I'm almost out of these party favor see thru bags that people use to bag blossoms. Bad part is that I forget what they are called and google doesn't like a search that looks like the subject line of this post. Can anyone help me with the name of these things? Thank you.

No problem. I do that all the time with names of things.

You could also use rolls of tulle. You can cut and "sew" them to size...also found at craft stores.

The ones at Walmart are called "Drawstring Sachets" and came in a pkg. of 12 for under $4-which was $1 less than Michael's craft store. If you need lots, they are cheaper on-line in bulk.

Hrm, I wonder if I could make and sew them on etsy. Maybe add a little tomato red ribbon, just for fun.

think back - did you EVER think you'd be scanning some of these sites? I can say quite decidedly that I NEVER thought I'd be going to sites that specialize in organza bags (& now have been there & ordered that).

Same here, but I found they make super bags for Compost Tea. Fine enough to prevent solids that clog the sprayer, big enough to hold all the components, and the draw strings loop over a stick to suspend them in the tea. Good stuff!

I had no luck with getting fruitset last summer with small wedding favor bags, (but bad busy year) so Ill try larger bags or just the organza/tulle/whatever this year- thanks for the tips!

Just wanted to post that Walmart has the Drawstring Sachets on clearance; the white ones were $3/dozen, off-white $2.

I ordered a bolt (I think thats what its called) online last year for around $6.00 and 2 or 3 bucks shipping. Made them in various sizes for clusters and trusses. This year I dropped the draw string, hard to untie.
