AMAZING!!! Love it. We used to do that with gum wrappers, but I never thought of using it as fabric. What a great project.

Thanks everyone for your comments.
To answer your questions the project took me several months because I haven't found where to get the candy wrappers. I had to make my husband eat a lot of junk food and candy, now he is 30 pounds overweight, that is what he says anyway, hahaha!!!
There is a lot of trimming, cutting, folding and stiching all by hand.
The bag can be use as any other handbag, just do not get it wet.
