Candy wrapper purse helps landfills

 The candy wrapper purse concept  plays an important and wonderful role in today’s world, where our landfills get fuller and fuller, and our environment continues to get polluted. By using discharged materials to make a purse that can be used by anyone, there is less garbage being dumped into landfills. In addition, the manufacture of these purses is done either with chemical safe processes, or without chemicals at all, further benefitting the environment that has been polluted with factories emitting fumes from manufacturing plants with all sorts of hazardous chemicals and materials. Furthermore, they are made in such countries as India, Mexico and Peru, under fair labor guidelines, ensuring that there are no victims, as a result of this wonderful trend of candy wrapper purse fashion.

 The original candy wrapper purse was manufactured in Mexico in factories utilizing huge accumulated rolls of candy wrapper scraps, combined with pages from old faculty textbooks. Together, these materials made some very stylish and desirable purses that cost a pretty penny when sold by designer companies.

Make your own candy wrapper purse

So how do you find your own materials to make your very own candy wrapper purse?  Your first step, is your own imagination. Think up what you’ve seen in your every day life that you would like to see combined together in a candy wrapper purse. It can be anything, so your options are pretty much endless. You can combine candy wrappers with wrapping paper, bottle labels, and pages from magazines, as one example. To get an idea of how much you will need, the typical fashion magazine contains enough pages in it to make two to three purses, that are average in size.

As far as preparing your materials to make your candy wrapper purse, you will need to cut your materials, whatever you choose to use, into small rectangles, approximately four inches by five inches in size. You then have to fold them into rectangles approximately one-half inch by one inch in size. You will then weave your pieces together using the “gum wrapper chain weaving” technique. This is done by weaving the folded pieces into chains that will be around 50 to 60 links long. They are then joined together into a round ring, which is then stacked on top of each other. You then must sew the rings with a strong thread or fishing line in a zigzag pattern. As soon as your candy wrapper purse has reached the desired height, you will close the bottom of the purse by sewing it with thread, then next sew a zipper on the top of the purse, and sew another long chain on top for the handle of the purse.

Voila! Now you have made your very own candy wrapper purse that you can show off to your friends without having paid a designer company to be among the stylish.
