Using the bagbutton is simple! 1. Simply place the items into a plastic bag of your choice. 2. Use the bagbutton and o-ring to create a secure seal on your bag. 3. Attach the hose from a vacuum cleaner and remove the air from the bag. 4. Remove the bagbutton and o-ring, twist and tie off the bag. Now the items are ready for storage in the wardrobe, garage, storage units, linen press, moving boxes, shipping boxs, suitcase, camper, RV, backpack, saddle bags, in a box for mailing or just under the bed.
