I am always looking for ways to challenge myself creatively and as I was browsing the site I looked over onto my desk at a M&M wrapper. I thought, this could make a good bag! So I ran up to my room and spent an hour creating this little jewel. I personaly like the way it turned out!

I am always looking for ways to challenge myself creatively and as I was browsing the site I looked over onto my desk at a M&M wrapper. I thought, this could make a good bag! So I ran up to my room and spent an hour creating this little jewel. I personaly like the way it turned out!

Instructions

  1. Small dscn1599 1246650745

    Start with a empty bag of M&Ms.

  2. Small dscn1600 1246650812

    Cut off the ends of the bag.

  3. Small dscn1602 1246650859

    Flip you bag inside out and cut a slit through the bag until it is about one inch from each side. My bag was torn and torn more in the process of turning it inside out. So I hot glue the peices back together

  4. Small dscn1603 1246650943

    Cut your denim to size and tack it to your bag with hot glue. Then stitch the denim using what I think it a blanket stitch until it looks like...

  5. Small dscn1606 1246651222

    This!

  6. Small dscn1607 1246651274

    Cut the excess material from the bag and then glue the edges using hot glue. (Or you could stitch but at this point I was too lazy to sew anymore:)

  7. Small dscn1609 1246651401

    Flip the bag right side out and glue the little opening flap thingy down to make the outside of the purse smooth.

  8. Small dscn1610 1246651481

    Trace around the circumference of the bag onto a peice of denim(this was two layers thick)Cut them out.

  9. Small dscn1611 1246651741

    Glue one of the denim circles to one end of the bag. Repeat with the other side so it looks like...

  10. Small dscn1613 1246651839

    This!

  11. Small dscn1614 1246651867

    Make a handle. WHat I did was make a tube by rolling the denim, then tacking it with hot glue and then stapling it

  12. Small dscn1615 1246651962

    Attatch the handle

  13. Small dscn1616 1246652010

    And the it is! A bag that you can use to smuggle sweets into the movies!
