Using Couplers

Tools and Ingredients

Tools:

Decorating Bag
Standard Coupler
Decorating tip
Pencil or pen
Scissors

Steps

Step 1

Remove ring from coupler base. Drop the coupler base, narrow end first, into the bag and push it down as far as you can.
For Featherweight Bags: Using a pen or pencil, mark the spot on the outside where the bottom screw thread (closest to tip) is outlined against the bag material.
For Disposable Bags: Mark a spot on the outside that is 1/4 inch BELOW the bottom screw thread.

Step 2

Push the coupler base up into the bag so that you can cut an opening at the mark.

Step 3

Push the coupler base down through the opening. One thread should be showing. Place a decorating tip over the part of the base extending from the bag.
