I received a huge box of Ateco tips and a coupler, but there's no bag. Will any bag fit? I have no idea how to assemble

I really think any good brand of pastry bag would work - the thin plastic disposable bags would probably tear when you screw on the coupler so stick with the heavy plastic or fabric type bag. You just put the tip into the bottom of the bag....it may take a little coaxing to get it through the hole, especially if it is a professional type cloth bag; once through the hole you just put the tip through the coupler and screw the coupler onto the tip (the cloth bag will be sandwiched between the tip and the coupler but the coupler should still screw on).

Most frosting bags will fit. I usually use Wilton. But I even use heavy zip lock bags too. Cheaper...you just cut a small hole in the corner to fit the tip and viola.

i have had my decorating items for more than 25 years ... i don't remember if the 14-pc set comes with a coupler ...but any standard coupler will fit the Ateco bags ... i always trim the tips of my bags to accommodate the coupler ... i always have several bags and coupler sets on hand when i decorate ... and mine get A LOT of use !!!

I use kitchen plastic containers which you can get in the market next to the bags. How many you have and the spool size will determine the size. Or go to the local big home improvement store and get a shoe box for a buck.

Hi, this set does not include couplers because the main tips included are too large for the standard coupler to fit. You would either have to find the larger coupler or just cut the end of the bag a little larger to fit the wider tip. I have a pic for you but I have no idea how to get it in here... I will continue to try

I no longer have the bag. I would suggest contacting the seller or the company that makes it. Sorry I can't help.

The bags that I have work for the tips. Usually you have to cut the tip of the bag to fit the tips.

Mine didn't come with a bag, they were just packed in a box, so I wouldn't be much help. If you sew at all you could find a super easy tutorial online or even a YouTube video on how to make your own. Good luck!

When you buy these bags and you will continue over and over again, I suggest the Ateco 6 piece pastry tube and tips set for $9.99. These allow you to make gorgeous cake borders with just one go around a cake or decorate a cupcake with just one tip. Once you get into this you will be buying more diverse sets. I wish I could post pictures!The set includes and 804 round, 864 star, 846 closed star, 827 French star, 808 round and 898 basket weave. These large tips don't require a coupler.

Someone else gave the correct bag size. I know the recommended bags are the wrong size. I got them also. I notified Amazon and apparently they are still recommending the wrong size bags.

I've bern using the Ateco 18" but you need to get tips separately unless you dont mind not having any special decorations. Also it only makes sense if you have large quantity to dispense as it is a littke inconvenient to clean afterwards.

Did you take everything out of the box? They are is a small bag, little screws. If not in there reports it back to Amazon or manufacturer.

we watched a video,lol. My husband folds it in half (longways) and starts by grabbing the bottom and cramming it into the storage bag...just keep cramming! don't try to be neat, stuff it and stuff it. It all fits in ! We have done it several times, don't be gently :) good luck !

I would love to help you but I am not able to. I just kept trying different ways to assemble it and finally it came together. Why the company didn't either include directions or print them on the carton is beyond me. Sorry (I hate to admit it, but I am also an engineer)!

Hi, These bags have a shaped top so they are not an ideal bag to zip together you really need to buy a rectangled shaped bag with both top and bottom the same....

I have the grassy tip, but I do not remember if I special ordered it or if it came with the set. I have ordered so many items, its hard to keep track. perhaps Ateco will answer that for you. the case is cheap thin plastic that cracks. mine was broken when it showed up. the tips are good though.

I found this coupler that works for the bigger tips except the one largest one. Ateco Large Plastic Coupler 404 In my opinion the Wilton couplers don't have quite the right shape to fit Ateco tips. They get the job done but once you use the correct Ateco coupler, you'll notice a difference.
