Milk Carton Coin Purse

Hard but it looks beautiful

wow smart idea!

I don't know which fascinates me more, the fact that someone was clever enough to think of this or the wallet itself! Super cute and resourceful, I'll be sure to try this soon.

This is awesome! I made it the other day and all my friends think it is one of the coolest things they have ever seen! I love it! =) Thanks, my mum thought you had to take the cap off to get to the money! HA! =)

WOW! So MANY versions of my how-to! Thanks for making and favoriting!
Check out more of my projects on my website at: www.connectthedotscrafts.com.

This is super neat!! I LOVE IT. You are very smart to think of this. I will be making one for all of my friends and family. Thanks

i just made this for the first time and it took about 20 mins. maximum! GREAT idea!

This is so cute and I love that's it's with a SOY milk carton! Too bad Trader Joe's soy milk comes in a different kind of carton cause that's what I always buy. Maybe I'll buy some juice so I can try this out! ;)

Thank you so much for sharing this genius idea!!! I love it! I just made one for myself and now my sister is begging me to make her one too! Thank you!

Ohhh ok thanks! ^-^

Hi Gracie - Measure from the bottom to the 3" mark and 5" mark - as in, there are two inches in between. Does that help?

I'm kind of stuck on step 3 D: 3" from the bottom and 5" from the bottom? do you mean top? or maybe I'm just brain dead right now

i made one

I love eco friendly. you should make a wallet.. please?

I love eco friendly. you should make a wallet.. please?

This is TOTAL GENIUS!!!I really want to make on but I have to find a carton first!

Boo..sorry about the double post, I thought it didn't go through the first time

I found your project a little over a year ago and always keep my cartons for a quick birthday gift. More recently I hosted my town's Etsy Craft Party and used your how-to, everyone LOVED it! I made sure to tell them where I got the tutorial ;)

Thanks!

Thank you, Connect The Dots!
I actually found your project on here a little over a year ago and have kept my empty cartons around to use for quick birthday gifts. More recently though, I hosted the Etsy Craft Party for my town and used your project, everyone LOVED it! I made sure to mention where I got it from ;)
Thanks again!

Pity we don't have this carton size in Sweden Otherwise I would SO have done this! xP

awsome you are so creative!!!

Is/are there any way(s) to reupholster the carton to any design we'd like?

made one RIGHT AFTER i read your how to and was SO excited about it (i guess that's a good excuse) that i cut through the front!!! so i had to staple it...still turned out right tho! minus the staples of course! If i could just learn to read directions better!!! I'll post my version asap!

aaw so cute!

aaw so cute!

WOw I finally found where to leave a comment haha. Anywayy AWESOMEE. Gonnnaa try this soon. =]

this is so awesome!!

Very neat! I made one, but I had to safe the carton from the trash a couple of times

The Fresh & Easy OJ carton is perfect. The oranges are perfect. ill post a version soon.

I made a jillion of those this past summer, out of Silk and orange juice containers! My daughter loved hers, she used to play for hours just putting pennies in through the hole, and taking them back out. Hers was made from the Silk very vanilla for kids, because it's purple!

I work with mentally disabled. we will be making these coin purses for xmas. What a great idea. Thank you so much.

THIS IS SO AWESOME, GREAT JOB!

I have finishd mine now was abit fiddly as i used scissors..and is a tad wonky but i don't care...it's cute! The way i made it was such that it says 3 for £2.50 on the back...it's pink and lovely

Wow! nice work! *click* FAVES!!

I've just finished my own version.

I drink Silk unsweetened too. I saw this Craft in a Family Fun magazine. Your tutorial is very good. Congratulations. I have already saved one container. I think these would make great gifts.

So Cute!

I agree...adding something in a carton to my grocery lisst as we speak! that is so, so, so nifty!!! you rock!

ahh I have a 1/2 gallon Of vanilla silk in my fridge I must go chug now :]

lol I made mine earlyer today veary easy and veary cool!!!I made mine out of a "Coffee Mate" box and at the top it says "Coffee Lovers' Size"lol I love it!!!<3

DIS.AR.RAY, you know you look exactly like Adele?

Woo! Just made my first one
I love how there's no need for glueing or anything like that.. just a craft that holds itself together, in more ways than one!

I love these "recycled" crafts. I let my daughter do this with me for earthday project and everyone loved it. I also did one for her and podged it so it is pictures all over the carton and it was really cute as well.

I've made this!! they're super fun, and u can add rounded edges to the flap and stuff, my TOP FAVORITE!!

I just made it and it is SO EASY! I think some of my measurments are off because the flap with most of "silk" on it is kinda short. Hopefully next time I make it it will be much better.

omg this is super easy

howEVER did you come up with this idea?!

AMAZING! super cool i lovee it!

adorable! sadly, we don't have carton's with caps! D:

Yay I made one!

i told my guy about this yesterday cause he loooooves fruit juice from those colorful cartons. he went and bought one and drank alot of juice last nite.
i made one this a.m in about 30 mins.
i will post pix as soon as my camera charges. WAY CUTE

Unbelievable! I just emptied my Silk this morning.....what perfect timing!

Great idea I love it and thanks for the tutorial

That is so amazing. i Love it!

Cute! I need to buy a carton with one of those plastic thingies now

hhmm interesting i like it. now i know what to do with all the cartons in the fridge instead of throwing them away
