I love items that have taken on a new life and are reused from things we use and throw away all the time. We go through tones of juice boxes now that my little girl is drinking juice and her daddy likes her juice boxes too! :) I saw some of these juice box bags a year ago made out of capri sun juice containers when our Young Women class leaders were thinking of ideas for scripture bags for the girls to make. Such a neat idea to recycle these products that take forever to breakdown in land fills into something useful and fun. I have seen them made into laptop bags, wallets, coin purses, hand bags, scripture bags and sun/grocery bags. So before you throw those juice box containers, Oreo cookie packages, Frito chip packages, candy wrapers etc. out in the trash, I hope this with inspire you to make them into something useful. One of my husbands mission companions even had a scripture case made out of duct tape of all things! I am going to make one of these cute colorful juice box sun bags for my daughter this summer to put sand toys and beach gear in. You can find all sorts of patterns to make these kind of items on the internet. Hope you will do the same with your kids juice boxes and candy wrappers! :) Another cute gift idea to make or buy!
