How to Close a Bread Bag Without a Clip

When a bread bag goes unclipped, slices within quickly turn stale. The horrors that result are innumerable: dry PB&Js, stiff toast, and uncomfortably firm dollhouse mattresses. But never fear—there’s still hope, even if you’ve already lost that small but vital bread-clip doohickey. This simple trick will help preserve the freshness of your white, wheat, or multigrain with nothing but your own two hands. Try it—the dolls will thank you.
