DIY Recycled Candy Wrapper Bag
Don't throw out all those candy wrappers, especially now that candy prices are rising; get the most out of your raging sweet tooth by turning those wrappers into a handbag! Kika*de*colores made this bag out of 792 candy wrappers, along with paper from a phone book, yellow burlap, felt, and thread (here's a shot of the bag mid-construction). [via Craftzine]

That's pretty cool, and a lot healthier than my celebratory 1000 origami cranes my mother made for me out of More cigarette silver foil wrappers when I graduated from high school. It was impressive, unfortunately someone threw it out when I moved away. :(
Yes, my mother did die of cancer, so anyone thinking it is a nifty idea...DON'T!

My older sister made gum wrapper chains like this in the 70's but I don't think she ever crafted them into anything as interesting as this bag. That looks surprisingly cool. It would take me years to amass that many candy/gum wrappers though.
