Today I made a juice pouch tote. It was a CHEAP project!
juice pouches 1.99
ribbon .25 cents or so
feather boa 1.00
Grand Total a whopping 3.24! pretty cool!
Firs thing you do is drink the juice (poke straw in the bottom so there arent any holes in your tote)
Cut a slit in the bottom so you can wash them. Was with soap and hot water and let dry over night. Throw them in the dryer for about 20 minutes right before you start your tote.
overlap the pouches just slightly and use a wider zig zag to attach them together!
You have your front panel.
Use a thread that either coordinates with the color of the pouch or kinda dissappears. No one will notice if a stitch is wonky if you use a color that blends right in.
Once you have made the front and back pieces you need to put together the bottom piece. Eyeball it.
Cut it to fit and sew it together.
Now attach it to the front piece. Make sure you sew it to the bottom of the front piece.
Sew on the back piece to the other side of the bottom piece.
This is what it should look like when you are finished.
Sew on the handles.I didnt wanna bother with pouch handles so I just sewed on a couple pieces of ribbon.
tada!
Now you have to hand sew on the boa. It will not stick with glue.
There you go. Happy crafting everyone!
CUTE!
