    Fruit and veg plastic bags from Mr Ts, two stuck together with a knot tied on top. Or perhaps a large malteasers box?
    :rotfl:
    Or even match boxes (the large ones) or better yet- the boxes that cereal bars come in- you could even go all out and buy a box of strawberrys and use the plastic reclosable box (the ones with the snappy- lid) instead!

    I have got to say that these are fabulous. Not only for yourself but for children to give to teachers. They also do fabulous bags too.

    Tesco sells clear see through ones that zip at the top for under 40p. We even decorated some with glass painting pens and foam sticky letters for the teachers gifts one year!
