Juice Pouch Purse

You will need...


2 Juice pouches
Adhesive Velcro
Scissors
A dental floss or strong thread
A push pin



Dental floss has a few great advantages over thread. 
1. It's braided, as opposed to twisted. This adds to it's strength.
2. It's waxed, so like sinew, it can easily slide through the multiple thick layers of denim, canvas, or in this case, metal and plastic!
3. It's nylon, so it has that nice, synthetic strength aspect to it. Also, you don't have to worry about it getting all fuzzy on the tips, as you can fuse the ends with a lighter when you're done!


Step-By-Step
1. Clean out the pouches.  
2. Cut the pouches to the appropriate sizes and trim the flap and the front (shown below)

3. Grab your two pieces, and line them up. use your pin to punch holes along the edge. Take the two layers apart, and punch the flap and the top of the front. I'd say 8 to 10 holes per inch is plenty. (shown below)

4. Line up your two parts and whip stitch all the way around. Don't want to pull your stitch too tight, as it will pucker and tear if you pull too hard. (Shown below)

5. Stick on the Velcro squares, ensuring they line up.

6. And, here it is.
