Question about a craft idea....

LOL. That sounds like a cool idea. I would think if you wash the bag with some dish soap it will come clean. I dont think it should be put in the dryer though. The heat from the dryer will melt the bag. You could wash it in the dryer on a gental cycle and hang to dry. All I can tell you is to try. Make a small one and throw it in the washer and see what happens. If it works great..if not then they just cant be washed. Good luck!

I wouldn't think it would be safe. The potato chip bag is like a type of plastic and plastic is a choking hazard for young kids. I also don't know how sanitary it would be. You are very creative though. I wish I had those type of ideas. My brain is very dull compared to yours.

Before using the bags, you can wash them in soap and water to clean them. After that you can certainly put them in the washer on the gentle cycle. I'd make sure that the wash and rinse are both cold though. I'd air or line dry though. I know they sell crinkly fabric in SOME fabric stores, but it's not nearly as krinkly sounding as the potato chip bag and the ones I've seen weren't washable. They also sell toys with some crinkly fabric in them.

well i don't know about the washer or dryer but i do know you can wash it with dish soap and let it dry and then you can cut it how ever you want.i have done this before for my kids.

I have not done it but I know someone who did that with an old pillowcase they put i zip on it and put few potato bags inside and when it needed to be washed they took them out. On the other hand my son has one of those shells things that you put send on one side and water in the other side he has a potato chips bag in it for about 9 monts now that he used to fill with sand and I just noticed that it is still there (not as brand new but it is still there). I will give you another idea if you a crafty person you can make christmas decoration out of them cut it open get a shape (I do it with hearts) cut as many as you can and then put glue on one (silvery side facing out) get another heart stuck 1/2 to it (to 1ole half of it) and put glue on the next and get another one and stick one half to the first and half on the second and you have a 3d heart you can use them like that or make a chain using some wool or something or put them on presents

I don't know how well it would hold up in a dryer. It is a great idea, but I'm sure you could probably do it safer with a crinkly fabric they sell at some craft stores. I'm not entirely sure you'd ever get all that grease out of the bag... I know it sometimes takes my sons 2 or 3 washing of their hands to get the chip grease off their hands after eating a few chips. I'd call the company to see what they say about washing and drying the bag.

I don't think it will hold up in the dryer, but it is washable. I would air dry it.

I have no idea about the potato chip bag, but wax paper makes a pretty crinkly noise when you roll it up into a big ball, and then sew some fabric around it, You can buy books like that that come crinkely, we have one with winnie the pooh on it, its a teether as well. and you can just toss it in the wash. If you are making it out of a potato chip bag though, You could always sew a zipper into the fabric, or velcro, so you could replace the chip bag when you wash the fabric :)

this may sound just as odd as your question, but why dont you contact the actual companies of the chip producers, perhaps that way you can find out where they get their bags and what sort of material they are made of??!!

That is a great craft idea...I am not sure but I do not see why they would not hold up (at least for awhile)...

I've never heard of this, but this definetly sounds like a great idea to try. It'll save you money, especially with the rise of toy prices.

I would not advise it. What if he chews it and it broke and pieces of the bag might end up in his tummy. Worst he might choke on it. Those baggies are not tough enough to with stand a kids pull and chew power. If your little one is like my little one man that bag is not going to last a second. She loves playing with those stuff to because it makes a funny noise and also it's shinny if you turn it inside out. She loves grabbing it between her hands and pulling it with the other hand. I don't let her play with it for long though just in case it might break. Just my opinion. Take care and good luck.

I'm sure it could be washed, but i would be nervous about putting it in the dryer because i don't know what it would do...but i think it would still be a fun thing to play with!

Sounds like a neat idea. And as for your question I am not really sure on how well that would wash. I would suggest taking a small square big enough for the chip bag and sew it on there like you would for the blanket and give it a wash, that would be the best was to know how its going to do in the washer. Good luck and very cute idea. You should let me know if it works, I have a nephew that would love something like that.
