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.
4can we buy this anywere?
5What type of folding is that

7Hi, I am a tenth grade student, and am doing my personal project. Can u e-mail me the directions to making this bag please?
8with the caprisun , what measures have to take ?
9Omg this is freaking amazing can you give me like the directions so i can make one
10Hi Amy,
We are writing a book about creating environmentally friendly packaging (called “Is it really necessary to shrinkwrap a cucumber”) for worldwide publication next year and wondered if we can use an image of your excellent handbag. This is to illustrate that juice pouches cannot be recycled by conventional means, but that there are some reuse options.
I regret I have left it a bit late, so would need the image within a week. The original photo file would be best, because higher resolution is needed for printing.
Best wishes,
Laurel
