Save your Caprisuns ! My unique Purse I made with them :)

[Gennel]

I have seen so many google images of stuff made with Caprisun containers. But I just didnt think I would use a CapriSun shopping bag as often as a purse. I fell in love with a leather circle flap purse and I thought I would attempt making a circle flap purse out of caprisuns!
it took 32 of them to make it happen!

Everything is 100% recycled. I used an old zipper,the bag fabric is actually a grocery store recycled shopping bag and the handle belonged to an old purse I had.

I love it! But I would not make these to sell because it was 5 hours total from cutting the circles out,sewing the edges, cutting the fabric bag...

Here it is , I've gotten lots of stares and questions when I use this purse lol

That's such a hip little purse! Great work! I would still be trying to stab the stupid straw into the Capri Sun at the 5-hour mark. Ha!
