I got mine at sugarcraft, and I love them! They come in an 8 oz size and a 2 oz size. I have about 6 of each, probably - I kept buying "just a couple more" every time I went in to the store, until I had enough that I never thought "gee, I wish I had one more of these" as I was decorating cookies! ![]()
hth!

I tried to post a link to the page, but couldn't.
Here's how to find them:
go to www.sugarcraft.com
On the left side is a long list of categories, click on "candies all" (first line in Candy section).
On the right side of the page, scroll down to the bottom, and the squeezit bottles are the fourth from the bottom in the right-hand column. Click there, and you'll be taken to the description and pictures of the bottles.
hth!

Pampered Chef has some new squeeze bottles with tips that are great! They are on back order right now, but will be ready to order soon.
I bought the PC ones and when I got them, I decided that maybe that isn't as cool as I thought it would be. Although I haven't tried them at all. They are still in the box. I'm trying to figure out how I can unload them. Maybe ebay...
The PC ones look like they'd be hard to clean! I guess for regular decorating (with buttercream) the design of the bottles might be necessary, but I've found that for doing cookies with Antonia's royal, the "regular" squeeze bottles work extremely well, and are easy to clean also.

I am very frugal so I search for alternatives that cost less LOL. I use the 2oz. sand art bottles from Michael's. There are 3 bottles in a package for 99 cents. The couplers and tips from Wilton fit these bottles perfectly.
You are very welcome. I love to save money so then I can buy other stuff LOL.
I'm all for saving money, but just make sure that whatever you use is food-safe! The squeez-it bottles have no odor at all, and are very flexible so they're easy to squeeze and to clean out. I tried to use some ketchup bottles (the refillable kind) that I got cheap at Target last summer, and they were so hard to squeeze that I couldn't use them for long without my hand cramping up. That was an experiment that definitely DIDN'T work for me, LOL!
Hope you find something that works well for you!

These bottles are food safe. On the back of the package, it states, "use for sand, glitter, granulated candy, etc. If they weren't food safe, it would not state that it could be used for granulated candy. Also, these have no odor and I have been using them for about six months. Since these are the 2 ounce size, I mostly use them for filling in small areas. They work great!
That's great that they're food safe! ![]()
I'll have to check them out. I have plenty of couplers and rings, and the price is right to get more of the bottles, LOL! That'll give me something to use my 40% off coupon for, if I ever have a week when I don't "need" anything else.

I use mine to decorate cookies, using the recipes and method in the article that Antonia74 wrote, called "How to bake & decorate cookies".
I feel that I have more control with the bottle instead of using a pastry bag, and it seems not to make my hand tired as quickly.
These bottles have a coupler that you can use with your own decorating tips, so they're very versatile.
hth!

So AnythingSugar, any other great frugal tips you could share with us? Thanks,
Kim
