My first brag --- KoolAid

[OctoberSun]

A few months ago KoolAid went on sale for around $1.20 a box at RCSS and Zellers so I snatched up a ton of boxes

The result of my endless boxes of KoolAid
**drumroll**



My homemade KoolAid Bag that my grandma helped me make
(actually she did all the sewing I just sat and told her what to do LOL)

I got the idea from a youtube tutorial of someone making their bag

The bag cost me a grand total of less than $4
It would have cost less if I had used one colour but whats the fun in that?
Since I used alot of colours I have alot of leftover pouches to make my next bag!

nice...very neat. You know I never thought of making my own. Thanks for the idea...can you put in the link you found for instructions.

This how you open the jammers so you can sew and clean them
(I personally didn't glue it shut and I let it dry overnight until it was completly dry inside)

I watched these videos and they helped alot because you could see exactly how they do it

I modified the way that they did it to make it the way I wanted it

I plan on making a makeup bag to go with it and a change purse.
It took me an hour to make it because it was my first time and I had to keep going back and watching the video to see how it was done and it took me forever to decide which order I wanted the juice pouches to go in LOL. You can also make it with CapriSun bags too.

I forgot to mention it took 26 juice pouches to make it which is 2 and 3/4 boxes total
