Beach party Cake/cupcakes

 

For my sons second birthday we did a beach party theme. So I decorated these cupcakes and cake with blue frosting for water, crunched up Nilla Wafers, gummies and little drink umbrellas too! Everyone enjoyed them and they looked really good!

 

Capri Sun Bags

 

1. Buy two/three boxes of Capri Sun drink pouches and drink them.
2. Soak the juice pouches in soapy water to help clean them. Remove the excess liquid from the pouches. Get a dish towel and a rolling pin. Place the towel on a table and put the drink pouch on top of it. Roll the drink pouch flat like you would pizza dough. You need to drink and flatten out approximately 30-40 pouches (depending on the size).
3. Piece together the pattern of the purse. With a sewing machine, sew three/four pouches with the bottom of the pouch to the top of another pouch. This will be the bottom of the purse.

 

4. Sew the pouches together side by side. Repeat that step for the other side of the purse.
5. Sew each side to the middle two pieces of the bottom.

 

6. Bend the end pieces of the bottom up to meet the sides of the purse. Sew the seams closed. This creates a box of Capri Sun.
7. Sew the last remaining pouches together, just like the sides of the purse.
8. Use a ribbon or fabric to make a strap and put snaps on the flap to close the purse.

I also used pouches to make a pocket on the inside and outside of the big bag and an inside pocket on the smaller pink one.
