Don't throw away those old Capri-Sun packets! You can use them to make a nice purse for yourself.

Don't throw those bags away! Recycle them to make this!
Steps
- Buy two boxes of Capri Sun drink pouches and drink them.
- Remove the excess liquid from the pouches. Get a dish towel and a rolling pin. Place the towel on a table and put the drink pouch on top of it. Roll the drink pouch flat like you would pizza dough. You need to drink and flatten out approximately 27 pouches.
- Piece together the pattern of the purse. With a sewing machine, sew four pouches with the bottom of the pouch to the top of another pouch. This will be the bottom of the purse.
- Sew three pouches together side by side. Repeat that step for the other side of the purse. The picture above used 3 by 3 pouches for the sides, but you can have virtually as many or as few as you want
- Sew each side to the middle two pieces of the bottom.
- Bend the end pieces of the bottom up to meet the sides of the purse. Sew the seams closed. This creates a box of Capri Sun.
- Sew the last three remaining pouches together, just like the sides of the purse.
- Attach this new piece to a long side of the box you have already created. This creates a closing flap to the purse.
- Use a ribbon or fabric to make a strap and put snaps on the flap to close the purse.
Tips
- Use a sewing machine and a zig-zag stitch to connect them. Don't worry, it will not ruin the sewing machine.
- You can also sew it by hand (more work, but it works just fine).
- Tape and staples also work to piece a CapriSun purse together.
- You don't have to use this many capriSun pouches....the bigger the better!
