I dont remember how I first heard of Candy Wrapper purses, but they sell them over at
Ecoist.com. I decided to look up how to make one myself, since it would be a lot cheaper, just take lots more time. I found some decent instructions after much searching over at
http://candywrapperpurse.blogspot.com/.
Its taken me a while to collect a good amount of wrappers, but I now look at food packaging in a different way. I chose mostly foil wrappers for my project, but some more plastic type ones seemed to work as well, as long as they were not too thick. I have quite the collection of (clean) chip bags, fruit snack wrappers, granola bar wrappers, even bags from frozen berries and fries.

Thats about as far as I've gotten so far. But thanks for reading, and i shall update you again on this later.
