Juice Wrapper Coin Purse
Juice Packets
Velcro
Start with two empty, clean, and dry juice bags.
Slit very carefully the bottom of the bag and rinse with water and air dry or use a paper towel if you can't wait to get started.
Decide which color you want for the outside and for the inside of your coin purse. Fold it over at the top just a bit to the backside of pouch and stitch it down. I used a zigzag stitch and white thread.
TIP: These bags are not forgiving so you can't re-do these, once stitched there is no ripping out seams and re-sewing.
Fold down the other bag non-color to non-color almost in half but about an inch from the bottom will be showing of the back of the bag and stitch across the top which is now the fold in the middle.
Place the smaller one you just folded down wrong sides together onto the main color pouch and stitch around sides and bottom.
Fold top down and crease and use a sticky back Velcro for the closure.
Coin purse is finished.

This is a great and fun idea for recycling an item one would normally throw away!
It's okay.
this is an great craft project and useful
i love it! I would make it if my sewing machine worked.( grumble grumble) THANKS:)
I love this. It would match my Capri Sun tote that I have. :)
thanks! i loved making this. I took the idea further and made myself a belt too, it took a lot longer though!
Thanks soo much: a little glitter glue and sparkles made it the perfect gift for my best friend: Hope you come up with more awesome ideas!! :D

This was very easy. Thanks!
simple and easy
I like this a lot. It looks like it was at the store!
I really love this idea!! thank you so much for putting instructions up!!!
The directions about making the inside of the purse definitely need to be clearer. That part is not well-explained at all.
This is a nice craft but it is kinda hard to understand.
Looks like i'll have to buy some juice bag packs! I can't wait to try out this project!
your directions are not really helping your pictures aren't either for a fist timmer
Wow! I haven't tried it yet but I'm totally into recycling stuff to make stuff. I live in NYC, and have made earrings out of metrocards, buttons, pins from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, etc.
do you think that you could try and make a purse out of these? ive seen them before, and they were really cool!! thanx

Isn't there something else we can use than velcro? Like a button?
My frriends and i loved doung this prodject. It was a blast!
Took awhile to figure out, but the combo of instructions and pictures helped me out!
I would like to find a crafter to make 3 for me: yates74@hotmail.com
Thanks!
This is a great and creative project, but the directions could be clearer.
Use a Zig Zag stich to prevent it slipping out.
I had problems with my sewing machine. The thread wouldn't stay in. Can someone give me advice on what I may be doing wrong? I bought 4 10 pouch boxes of these things so I can make them for family and friends. gizmo86m@hotmail.com
Thanks, I enjoyed your FREE instructions.
How did you make it so shiny. If left original, won't it tear?
I don't know, it's ok but I don't really like it all that much....
It is so cute and fashionable
graet

I love this little thing its the most darling thing ever!!
I'm going to make one for all my friends!!!
Very cool!! I need to try this...thanks!
