Started with a gum wrapper

folded a gum wrapper, said to myself this looks like a little purse. and the rest was history lol

2025/9/28 Edited to

If you’re fascinated by the idea of making a gum wrapper notebook or similar small crafts, here’s a little insight from my experience. Using everyday items like gum wrappers is not only sustainable but also incredibly rewarding. Beyond folding gum wrappers into mini purses, you can assemble multiple wrappers into pages, binding them into a compact notebook that’s perfect for jotting quick notes or sketches. Start by carefully collecting your gum wrappers and ensuring they’re clean and flat. Then, fold them neatly to form the cover and pages of your notebook. Adding a simple staple or thread binding can help keep everything together. It’s a fun project that doesn’t require fancy tools and makes for a great conversation piece or gift. I found that experimenting with different wrapper colors and patterns brings a unique charm to each creation. Plus, it’s a great way to practice folding and crafting skills. Whether you’re into arts, purse collections, or crafts, turning gum wrappers into small, useful items like notebooks or purses is a creative adventure worth trying.
