I saw something like this on an online shop and thought woooow that's smart!!!!! The one that was on sale was made of a champo bottle. But mine is made of a bleach agent bottle , it was just empty so I thought why not giving it a try for the rest of you as well. At first i would use an other closuring but... it didn't worked out. Then i thought why not using rubberbands for your hair. and making a button of the bottle it self;-D I hope you like it, and of course everybody can make it more fashion then i did;-D and you can use this too for a wrapping gift as well;-D thank you very much for stopping by;-=D

Lay the bottle under water to let soak the label, most of the time it's easy to remove it. Sometimes some glue pieces are left over, you can remove that with terpetine . Drop some drops on an old cloth , rub the places and you're done. then was the bottle with soap water, and let it dry.
cut the upper part of the bottle with a crafting knife.
search for a lid for drawing around with a marker on the back side of your bottle that will be your flap later. My cat Muis was checking me if i did it right.LOL
At the front side make a straight line with a ruler. because the backside wrap was 5cm or 2inch i have set the line on 7cm or 2,5 inch.
connect the lines of the wrap and the straight line like i did. please watch the pict.;-D Do this as well by the other side of the bottle.
cut the lines out so you become something like i had;-D
make with a punch tool two holes in the flap of the bottle
old the flap dawn and mark the holes where the punches on the front side must come.
cut out of the scarps of the bottle 2 circkels or other shapes that can be used like a button. make on both buttons two holes.
making the connection in the flap: you can set in the two holes grommits in the flap , but it's not really necessary. following the drawing i made in the pciture;-D 1. then pick up a nice colour of the hair rubber bands and make in the middel a knot. 2. with the crochet hook hold the two sides through the holes of the flap. 3. cross them with the crochet hook on each other so you will become one loop. and you're done with this part;-D Huraaay for you!!!!LOL
making the connection in the front of the pouch. Following the instructing i have draw in the picture. A. these are the two holes in the front. B and C, take your hoir rubber band and make the same connection you did in step 10 , only without making a knot in the rubber band. D. the orange round is he two pieces plastic buttons. Pull the rubber loop with the crochet loop through the two plastic buttons of the first hole. E. Doing the same but now you must pull the rubber band to the back of the seccond hole.. F and G. Drag the loop now again over the button sometimes when the hairband is still to long then you must do this again.
close your mini pouch and you're done. you can use it for small things or use it as a gift wrap hope you liked it and thank you for stopping by;-D Have a happy crafting time;-D
