Candy Wrapper Clutches (UPDATE)

These Upcycled Purses are Made From Discarded Dessert Packaging

— December 15, 2012 — Eco
As they say, one man's trash is another man's treasure, which is exactly the case with these cute candy wrapper clutches. Made from discarded candy packaging, the purses come in a variety of styles and are made of various chocolate brand consumables.

There's a cute clutch made from M&M wrappers, a full purse made from Dove chocolate packaging and another larger sized clutch made from Coke Zero labels. Finding innovative ways to recycle, reduce and reuse can be tough, but adding one of these quirky accents to your accessories collection is sure to start conversations when you pair it with your outfit. Each one is naturally made by hand and set at very reasonable price points ranging from under $20 to just over $100.

Make sure to act fast as these creations are limited in supply and sure to sell out quick.
