I am looking for any instructions on koolaid or caprisun purse, wallet, belt, checkbook cover or any thing we can make? My daughter has been saving the pouches for a while she also gets the ones from her classmates. So any info would halp. Also, I saw some checkbook covers made out of M&M, Skittles, and diff. candy bags, they were really cute also so if anyone has instructions on those would be so helpful. I can't find anything.
there is a group that has a lot of information on caprisun purses it's
caprisunpurse@yahoogroup.com
If you just type caprisun purses, it should take you there.
Hope this helps.

I do have a the instructions for making a candy wrapper checkbook cover on my website. I also have other patterns like one for a free koolaid coin purse plus a kool-aid purse pattern. I hope to have the magazine purse instructions available soon. Keep checking!
hi i make capri sun purses and sell them all the time. i am coming up with a website, but here's the instructions anyways..
what you need: 8 pouches(makes a reg. size purse)
sewing machine(much faster than hand-sewing!!!)
optional: cute ribbon for strap or eyelash yarn for trimming
1. wash out all the pouches by cutting slits in the very bottom of the pouch without separating the front from the back.
2. line 2 pouches upoverlapping only about three fourths of an inch and sew them together. this is the front, and do the same for the back.
3. cut one of the pouches down to about three fourths of its regular size(you can do this easily by folding one of the corrners evenly and cutting) and sew together with another pouch(DO NOT cut this one!
hello,

I'm looking for instructions on how to make chip bag and candy wrapper purses. Can someone please help me?
Sharon Johnson
i have recently learned how to use double bubble wrappers and turn them into zig zag designed necklaces. i just wanted to add that. sorry i couldn't explain how to make purses.
I wish I could. I am looking for a pattern on one too. I have already made a cereal one and a jammers purse but I want to make a Lays chip purse too.
Did anyone ever get the instuctions on this. I would love to know please email me at copper815 (at) cs.com ...thanks
Lil m,
Could you share how to make the zig zag designed necklaces. We may be able to use that as a basis for the start of the candy wrapper purses.
Thanks
sharon, i, too, have been looking, so far unsuccessfully, for instructions for a potato ship bag purse. have you had any bites?
I can't find the instructions either. However, I do know how to make the purses. It is the same basic pattern that you would use to weave a basket. You would use long strips of the bags and lay them out flat in a criss cross pattern. Look up basket weaving and find a basket shaped like the purse you want to make then follow the directions. I promise it will work.
I found this www.craftster.org/
I'm working on a blog page with the instructions so that everyone can make one.

At the bottom of the blog page, please leave me your comments with a post, thank you.
I make all kinds of stuff out of chip bags. Stuff like shoes, boxing gloves, picture frames, cowboy hats and more.
Can you send me the pattern for boxing gloves to tjsmommy83@aol.com? my fiance wants to make them

Have you seen those cute purses made from woven candy bar and potato chip wrappers? I can't find instructions. They look like the old gum wrapper chains, only larger.
I just went and looked them up on ebay and this one is adorable. I remember making the gum wrappers into chains as a kid. I have no idea how to do this. LOL and now I am going to do my research on it by googling.
They are just too cute. I don't know if the picture will show up but here it is....
Please let me know if you find out how to make these adorable purses. How do you make the chains from gum wrappers?
Thanks for any help.

Yes, I have seen those purses. As a matter of fact I have them for sell. We sell them for $35 plus shipping. they are about 8 inches long x 4 inches and have a strap. Let me know if you want to buy one. Email me at rxbecerr@yahoo.com
If you still what to know how to make these bags go to this link for full instructions: candywrapperpurse.Blogspot.Com/
My sister and I used to make chains from gum wrappers when we were little. Does anyone know the folding technique? I can't remember how. I think you can make different crafts from them.

Oh my gosh! I used to make these too and this question brought up some great memories :-) Lorelei defintely gave you a perfect how-to link. Have fun :-)
When I was in High School, in the 60's, we would make them as long as our boyfriends were tall. I'm only five feet and always dated tall guys. LOL! And if we broke up with one and got a different boyfriend we had to start all over. NO RECYCLING for that.
You can also make the chains using dollar bills. I've made several for high school graduates...usually 50 or 100 dollars worth. The kids have never seen these and are facinated. Some even swear they will never take them apart...until they are totally broke. LOL!
Lorelei sent the perfect link. Try it and have fun.

I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get instructions on how to make a candy wrapper bracelet. Instructions with pictures would be greatly appreciated but without pictures would be good too. Thank you.
By kat from Whippanny, NJ
These instructions are detailed and loaded with pictures. They almost make it for you. lol

When I was a kid we did this with gum wrappers. It was sort of a competition to see who could make the longest 'chain'. LOL!
How do you print your own candy wrappers, to be used as wedding favors?
Taira from Brookline, MA
Taira, I use a site called www.alenkasprintables.com to print candy bar wrappers and other things like teabag envelopes and jiffy pop covers. They have a free section or you can pay to get even more choices.
Taira, I use alenkasprintables site too. There are many cool things to print for free. Yesterday I made up some cute hot chocolate envelopes that I am going to use for little Christmas gifts. A Swiss Miss cocoa mix fits in one.
It's possible you could find some sites with printable candybar wrappers just by putting into search.
How do you make a belt out of Starburst wrappers?
Bob from Yuma, AZ
I can remember making those out of wrigglys spearment gum wrappers, which everyone was chewing at the time, then the group of us went through the candy bat stage - especially Hersheys, Mr. Goodbar, and Nestle Crunch. All because if rge different colors, and the alumin foil was an added bonus.
My granddaughter is having a camo theme wedding and wants to have "fake" red shotgun shells in her bouquet, etc. All we need is a wrapper and we will fill it with cotton or paper so there is very little weight to it. Does anyone have any ideas how we can make these? She also may wrap them around a roll of life savers for favors. We can buy candy ones, but they are too pricey for the quantity she needs.
Red Felt might work. You could wrap gold foil around the bottom of a small dowel or pvc piece and cover the rest with felt. I hope this helps. PBP
