Candy Wrapper Bag

I'm not one for throwing things away. If something can be reused, or repurposed, then chances are I'll find something to make with it.

Several months ago, I started saving crisp packets and chocolate wrappers again, along with any other thin plastic packaging, with the intention of making another candy wrapper bag. 

And here's the result!

The zip was rerepurposed from an old handbag and the strap came from an old torch that no longer worked. 

I find it incredible that something so beautiful can be made out of materials that get thrown away every day.

Finally, I've managed to use up my stash of sweet papers and crisp packets, and I am so pleased with the end result!

So, what's next? Well, I'm just going to have to start collecting more wrappers ... Ah, the pleasures of upcycling!
