Great video! And for all you folks out there who are worried about eating all the candy, try this. I'm making one for each of my grandchildren but I plan to wrap the candies in plastic wrap and put them back into the finished pouch. (To keep it clean.) The final destination of the pouch will be in their stockings at Christmas (or a birthday gift, special reward for something well done, etc). Think how disappointing it would be for the little guys to open up a candy pouch that had no candy!! Hope this helps! lol
This is such a fun craft. I would like to make these and sell them during Easter, or in birthday gifts for children. I would like to have one myself so I suppose adults also LOL LOL LOL. Your explanation of how to make this little bag with spot-on thank you so much for sharing I am a new subscriber😊❤😊
Wow, who would have thought you could make a fab bag out of a candy wrapper, amazing. Great idea, thank you for your patience in showing us how to make the bag. Loved your video.
What a awesome gift! I used to do some pretty neat things back in the day. I made hosiery bags out of fabrics hosiery is nylon stockings. I made my Mom. I inherited it back again. When Mom passed. I love this idea of using candy bags. One problem is I would eat all the candy. 😉🤗💜
Im a knitter and was in need of a notion bag so I’m making some more Deanna. Lol. Love this little zippered bag! I tried vinyl only on one side of Candy wrapper since they have a cotton liner, to save some $ but they didn’t have as much structure as vinyl on both sides. I like the wrapper sandwiched between 2 pieces of vinyl much better. Thanks 🙏 ❤️👍🙋♀️
I just made a zipper pouch out of the exact same candy bag, and I was able to peel off the plastic closure thing at the opening of the bag, instead of cutting it off. It made the finished size a little taller.
Once again, Amazing! Your idea is wonderful. You mentioned kids, but all the adults I know would want one of these!! Thanks for your detailed information. 😍💕👍
Thank you so much for the tutorial. I will definitely make a few for Christmas it will be quite a conversation piece (I'll use cat litter bag & rabbit food bags!!
The only thing I do different is my zipper. I cut the zipper smaller and put tiny taps on each end. Make the bag look much nicer on the ends after the bag is done. Try it you will like the way it looks. Just a little more work. Thanks for this nice tutorial.
Now that is so cute!! I bought up some zippers a while back and i never have done one but with your instructions i think i will be able to now! Can't wait to get some candy bags! TFS
Hey Deanna! Kids? Heck I LOVE these! So cute! I don't think I'm handy enough with the sewing machine to make one. I am very bad with zippers LOL. I would buy one of these at a craft fair!
Wouldn't it be easier if you just cut the sides and the top, opened it out, put the vinyl on in one piece, put your lining on in one piece also, and add your zip. The bag would be bigger and it would save a lot of work.
Hi Deanna! May I ask where your from? I hear the ya'll and wondered where you were from. Ive watched several of your videos and just subscribed tonight to your channel. Im new in this sewing journey and wonder why I never did it earlier. I enjoy it alot! Thanks again!
Thanks Deanna. I was in Joanns playing your video and trying to decide between the two. Lol I can’t wait to try these. Walmart carries tons of that size m &ms. The green mint color one was cute too
Crafty Crafts By Deanna I did it ! I’ve made 3 of them. So cute. The 7” zippers, near the thread, at Walmart fit perfect. Trying to find the perfect liner material is the hardest part. I can’t wait to try other candy wrappers. You are right. That vinyl material is a dream to sew with. Thankyou for not overthinking the instructions like other you tubers do. Simple and easy to follow you.
you are wasting bag part, plastic ziplock and vinyl lol 1.) you could have kept the bottom part of the bag (M&M Logo) and made it into a bookmark after laminating it with the vinyl. 2.) the plastic ziplock could have been used on another bag - like a chip bag instead of a metal zipper. 3.) wasting vinyl makes you run out quickly XD
Hi, here in the UK the iron on vinyl is really expensive. Could I just put it on the two outside pieces? I want to make some to sell for fund raising at Church. Pauline.UK.
Nannie Mackinney you need to cover the m&m bag with something... if you can’t get the vinyl try clear duct tape. Where in the UK are you from? Excited to meet you Nannie!
I live about 15 miles from Canterbury - I expect you have heard of the famous Canterbury Cathedral. I haven't seen clear duct tape in the UK. I saw another tutorial where the woman just put vinyl on the outside of bag and used wadding and lining and quilted it. It is probably cheaper for me. I love your accent. I was watching your chap stick video when I got your reply. Pauline.

Yay! Finally...a tutorial on making these so the seams are not showing😊😊😊 Thank you!!!
Great tutorial. Must try it. I like the idea of fusing both sides with the vinyl as most tutorials don’t do it and I think the bag needs the strength.
This is just too cute. I believe my 12 year old granddaughter would love it. She is a true girly girl.
Wow, who would have thought you could make a fab bag out of a candy wrapper, amazing. Great idea, thank you for your patience in showing us how to make the bag. Loved your video.
Thank you!
I love your method and believe it will be easier than the method I've used a couple of times. Thank you for sharing.
I think they look awesome 😊

Love these! Made one for my niece a few yrs ago! She loved it and it lasted her quite some time and her friends loved it!
Anna Marie Rosales yay!!! Great to know!

Adorable! Love the polka dot lining choice!
Absolutely love your instruction on zippers. Thank you so much for sharing this.
So cute, thank you for your video. Chopstick would help get those corners out without pocking the vinyl .
Agreed… I like the instructions on keeping the seems incased. I noticed you did not use batting and quilting like many others.
Thank you so much for the tutorial. I will definitely make a few for Christmas it will be quite a conversation piece (I'll use cat litter bag & rabbit food bags!!
I love these! I made a Lifesaver Mints bag! Sew cute!
Adorable!! Very clever and functional. Love it!
Thank you!
I've never seen those bags with the bottoms like that I think I'd rather leave them on
I loved learning about zippers! They have scares me but you explained it well!
I was scared before also until I jumped in and did it. Not hard!
The only thing I do different is my zipper. I cut the zipper smaller and put tiny taps on each end. Make the bag look much nicer on the ends after the bag is done. Try it you will like the way it looks. Just a little more work. Thanks for this nice tutorial.
Thank you
I put the little tab on all my zipper pouches. They look much better. Easy to do to.
Very good instructions.
Again Sweet lady amazing.... so super cute!!
Great idea!! They are so cute !! Definitely will try to make.
Awesome!
Love it! Will be making a few. Thank you for sharing.
Deanna this was so adorable and fun to make! The only part I missed was removing some of the bulk at the zipper end.
Hello Deanna, these are Fab 😁 my 9 year old Niece will love it 😋💕 Erica x
Excellent teacher. Many thanks
This is awesome I have a girl in my scrapbooking club makes this and purses she folds the m & m bags TFS
Cool!
Love them all especially the Starburst one 💕 you should Starr selling them 😊
Very cute! And you can’t see any seams ! 😍
Great job explaining! Thank you 😊
This looks like a lot of fun! You did a good job!
Very cute. Great idea, kids will love these.
dacook2212 thank u!!
Now that is so cute!! I bought up some zippers a while back and i never have done one but with your instructions i think i will be able to now! Can't wait to get some candy bags! TFS
what a great idea for gifts, and recycling candy wrappers instead of me throwing them in trash
Love it, you are such fun!
Great job
Love this idea! Those are so dang cute! Saving up for a sewing machine LOL
Donna Anderson awesome!! I hope you get one soon!
These are great, i saw.. sew very easy, made hers from Skittles bags. I think I prefer unlined better than lining.
Jenny Doane from Missouri Star also has a video on this. Both cute…
I love all of your ideas! This is so cute!
Thank you!!
Hey Deanna! Kids? Heck I LOVE these! So cute! I don't think I'm handy enough with the sewing machine to make one. I am very bad with zippers LOL. I would buy one of these at a craft fair!
Norma Jones don’t give up on Zippers and sewing!! Give it a try you can do it!
I subscribed right after watching you see that M&M's bag. I Loved that idea. You made it seem so simple. Thanks so much & God bless you.😊
Yay!! Thank you!!
These are adorable! Thank you so much for sharing! I can't wait to try it out! 😉
platinumdiva75 awesome!!
So cute! Thanks🤗
These are so fun and adorable. I have made a few also. Love them!!! Tyvmfs
Great! Now I have an excuse to buy a BIG m&m bag!
I love m&ms!
Love this
I found your channel through suggested videos and wow it's growing quickly ! You have shared some great ideas . Well done from the UK !
Thank you! Where in the UK are you from?!
Nice, I do my lining the same way. Looks is so much nicer.
Girly that is up cycle for sure too cute.
Thank you
Amazing!!! Wish i had a sewing machine. Thanks for sharing
Kisha Boyd Walmart sells them fairly inexpensive If you are wanting to get one.thank u for watching
I pull the metal stoppers from the zippers with a pair of pliers and sew over where I taken them out
so nice. A hi from Brazil
I can see why it was suggested by others to use vinyl on one side only. Probably makes it a lot easier to turn right side out.
These are adorable, please let us know how your craft fair goes,,best sellers,, worst sellers,,PLEASE
Helen Vandagrifft I will ! It will be in the fall
Cute, however question, I'd think you could marry the pieces together in a laminating sheet.
Truth!
Tutorial pls =)
..lol
cute!!
Wonderfully clever!!!
Thank you!
Wow, so cute. Beautiful idea . Thank you for the tutorial. :-)
Love the wallets
Super cute. I can’t sew tho.
These are so very cute and a good idea 😊🌷
With the heat and bond plastic, could I make a reusable food bag, without the lining ? I think that would be great for lunches.
Could you heat it a bit with a hair dryer
...Running as fast as I can to Hobby Lobby!! 🏃♀️
Yay!
I have been trying to figure out what it was that people put over the fabric to make it like plastic. These are cute!
HungryCraftyKelsey heat and bond vinyl!! Thanks!!
Also on the travelers notebook...any special needle for that? I sew and do papercrafts....thank u for inspiring me to combine the too!!
No ma’am! And u are so welcome!
they are amazing! tfs!
Thank you!
Wouldn't it be easier if you just cut the sides and the top, opened it out, put the vinyl on in one piece, put your lining on in one piece also, and add your zip. The bag would be bigger and it would save a lot of work.
Great idea!
I'm watching this almost a year later but I love your directions. Thank you so much.
Welcome!
Awesome ✂️👛🧵❤️
LOVE IT!
I'm saving all kinds of food bags like popcorn and chocolate chip bags. I'll make coin purses with the smaller ones :)
Absolutely adorable. What type of vinyl are you using?
Awesome I do love this idea. How much would you sale them for?
8$
That's such an awesome pouch. Do you think I can use the laminate from my xyron?
Sure!
Deanna these are so cute!!! I love anything m&m 😊 Do you sell these,would love to maybe buy one?
Linda Crespo I will have a few at my craft fair in the fall.
Where?
Do you think there would be copyright issues with the candy companies if you sell these?
So sorry, you are not pining, your working with plastic/ vinyl you are clipping. I love making these bags.
Supercute!
Anna Teegardin thank u!
Very cute! Did u have to use a special needle to sew the vinyl?
No just my regular sewing machine needle
Hi Deanna! May I ask where your from? I hear the ya'll and wondered where you were from. Ive watched several of your videos and just subscribed tonight to your channel. Im new in this sewing journey and wonder why I never did it earlier. I enjoy it alot! Thanks again!
I am in texas

Thank you!
So cute! How much would you sell it for?
Thank you! Probably 9 or 10
@@CraftyCraftsByDeanna Love love your channel Thanks for sharing 😊
Thank u
@@CraftyCraftsByDeanna Very cute! How did they do at the craft fair?
Can you use clear contact paper?
Sure!
I don't sew , could we use a strong glue?
Paula Simmons I have not tried that. There is a fabric glue you might try. Not sure if it would work tho! Let me know if you try it!
too cute!!! wish I was a sewer.
You can do it!
Deanna is that a matte finish or clear gloss?
Clear
Thanks Deanna. I was in Joanns playing your video and trying to decide between the two. Lol I can’t wait to try these. Walmart carries tons of that size m &ms. The green mint color one was cute too
Buttermilk Bay Soap awesome! Go for it!

RobynLovesPedro Silva if you want to get a beginner sewing machine Walmart has some reasonable priced ones!
you are wasting bag part, plastic ziplock and vinyl lol

Nannie Mackinney awesome!! It is so great to meet you!! Your project will come out great I know it!!
Nannie Mackinney try to
Put the m&m package on top and layer with batting and then fabric and quilt it and see how that works. Let me know!!
I will when I get the vinyl. I can send photos of things I have made so far for my Church fund raising if you send me an email address.
Do you sell the candy pouches online? Do very cute.
Traci Baker no ma’am but will sell at my upcoming craft fair!
That's what I was going to ask. Where do you have the craft shows? What cities?
I am doing one in Wylie Tx December 1
Is there anyway to PM you? I love these but I'm "zipper challenged" I'd love to shop your craft booth table. LOL
You can message me via my crafty Crafts by Deanna fb page!
Oh god chop those metal stops off.
Sweet...lol.
Please excuse the pun. 😉
Thank you!
