Kool-Aid jammer coin purse *pics are back with the Tutorial*

hey! cool!   these look a lot like Basura Bags!  they're made by a womens' cooperative in the Phillipines out of juice packets that literally cover landfills there.  beware of knockoffs that don't support the co-op!

Hi,
      I am looking for some help and since you said this was your first post I thought maybe you could help me.  I consider myself a reasonable intelligent person however after spending hours roaming this site tring to figure out how to post a message I have given up and am hoping on the kindness of your heart, you can give me the instructions on how I can make MY first post. Any Help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks so much!

Lique,

Love your coin purse.  Do you use a special needle for the sewing machine to make them or just a regular needle?

Thanks!
Debbie

WOW. that is awesome. i have a purse like a basura bag but its made out of coke cans. i got it at this little shop in new yor-ak called "It's a mod world" its so cute. ok but back to the coinpurses! those would make like REALLY cute stocking stuffers for x-mas (and if you're not christan, sorry if i offended you) or like even if you attached them to the card for on like a wrapped gift for any occasion. hmm...im gonna try to figure out a way to make a bag out of them because it'd be cute AND cheap  . If nayone who trys this w/o a sewingmichane please tell me how it turned out. i want to make one but i dont want to buy the drinks if i cant end up making them! alright thanx

Those pouches remind me of "portable ashtrays" which are basically just little plastic pouches lined with aluminum. I wonder if it would work with the juice pouches, without melting. It's good for those few smokers who care about not turning beaches and sidewalks into giant ashtrays.

i thought this project was pretty cool when i first saw it a couple of days ago and was thinking it would be cool to see a purse made from those kool-aid things. then i went to our county fair yesterday and was looking at the arts and crafts winner stuff. somebody had made a kool-aid jammers purse. it was kinda weird but it was really cool.

p.s., robOt~speEd, who is that a picture of?

These coin purses are cute.  And DragonMuse, my goodness!  I support anything that is reuse/recycle - but what you said takes that even further!
I don't smoke, but a lot of my friends do.  Thanks for the idea.  Now I can sew gifts for my smoker friends!

Are you asking how to start you own topic?
At the main page, choose which topic you want your project under (miscellaneous, clothing, stenciling, etc).
Once you click to get into that catagory - where it shows you how many pages of topics there are on that specific subject, there should also be some tab bars that say, "mark as read, notify, new topic."

Click on "new topic"

Create your own subject, and type in the box whatever your project is.  You can add photos if you want.
(That is more detailed, I'm not going into it here).  Choose "preview" to make sure everything is spelled right and correct.
Then choose "post."

Hope that's what you were asking directions for!  If not, ask again.  Someone will help you out.
