    I googled this for brown paper bags for making popcorn in the microwave....

    Succesfully managed to source 1000 for £6 from local chinese supermarket :D

    Cheaper than a popcorn machine and quicker :money

    Lady at chinese supermarket said it wouldn't work. Well it did - quantities

    1/4 cup of popping corn (same place as bags = 65p for loads!!!).....bag folded over a few times at the top (about 1cm)..popped in 800w micro for 1 min 30...Done!!!

    I get block bottom paper bags from eBay for my paper bag mini albums.

    The ones I get are party favour bags so much thicker and come in lots of colours, black being my favourite!

    Usually get them 99p for 12, plus a quid postage

    Exciting - secret project!
