    Default I want one of these purses........

    Has anyone seen the kool-aid purses yet? I know I could probably make one cheaper than buying one, but noone here drinks kool-aid jammers. I think they are so cute. I am trying to find the one I want. It will be my treat for my weight loss.

    They are selling for 6.99 for 15 pouches. I can buy the purse already put together with the boa for 9.99. Hmm, I would rather buy the already made one and save my time.

    LOL Kim!! I saw cheeto and dorito purses on there too! Who would have thought you could take something like this and sell it for a profit instead of filling up the landfills??

    The cereal box purses are very cute too. I'd love one.

    It was me. I have made the juice box purses. I'll try and find the post with the link for instructions. They are very easy to make but are hard on your sewing machine. I made several for gifts at Christmas and everyone was pleased.

    I can't believe how trash can become treasure.
