So, this idea is neither new nor original. I actually found the idea on Arf.com when I was searching "where to buy silica gel packs".
After messing around with various sizes and ways to seal the filter, I ended up using a whole filter and a stapler to close it shut, just how it said to do it on Arf.com ![]() ![]() Items needed: 1. Cat Litter, clear type made from silica gel 2. Coffee filters 3. Stapler. I first pre folded the opening, making 2 folds - each approx 1/2" wide, then I filled the filter to with the silica gel to what I deemed enough. Remember you still have to fold the opening shut and staple it. Trial and error comes into play here. Lastly, I stapled them shut and put a date on them. The bag of kitty litter was $15 from Pets Mart and the filters and staples I had laying around. I should be able to make hundreds upon hundreds of these packs from the bag of litter. Considering Amazon.com wanted around $10 -15 for 30 x 10 gm packets, this is a cheap, inexpensive way to make silica gel packets for ammo cans, safes, boots or whatever have you. Thanks for looking. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Excellent idea for small needs.
If you have a bedding store which sells TempurPedic in your area, stop in and ask them for the large desiccant bags that come packed in the mattress boxes...

I heard that Harley Davidson ships their bikes in crates and the crates have the desiccant packs also. |

I almost forgot, for large applications, you can fill a sock and tie it off the end.
