She’s Crafty: Capri-Sun Handbag
Last month I showed off my Chip Wrapper Handbag and Purse. Now check out my handbag made out of Capri-Sun juice pouches. Nice way to be creative and recycle at the same time.

No you’ve got to get meta….like a Mentos holder using on Mentos wrappers…..or a Corn-nuts pouch using Corn-nuts wrappers
Nice job! How long’d it take?
1Man, that’s really cool.
2how do you clean the chip wrappers or capri sun pouches before making this things??
3The chip bags I cut the top and bottom “ridge” off and then cut a slit up one side and open it. I just lay it flat and clean with spray cleaner and then dry it off with paper towels, then cut to size. The Capri Sun pouches definitely involve more prep. I have a piece of cardboard cut to size that I use as a template. I cut the top, sides and bottom off the pouch to fit the right size (2″x4.5″) then just clean the same way. Although I didn’t clean them as well as I thought because I am left with some residue from the straw adhesive. So I had to go back and reclean. This one took 130 pouches and about 6 hours not including the cutting time. I have also started using frozen veggie bags, granola bar wrappers, etc. No garbage discrimnation here.
4What type of folding is that
5WOAH! thats cool! I have a capri sun wallet and purse!
