You can make a wonderful purse from a throwaway tetrapak. The tetrapak material is awful from the point of view of the environment. There are several layers of plastic, aluminum and paper which cannot be separated. Flatten the tetrapak and then cut the top part. Also cut the bottom leaving behind just a small flap. Now tuck the sides inwards to give the purse a depth. Fold the tetrapak in half to make the purse. The purse will have two pockets and a flap. Staple the two inner layers so that the purse does open accidentally. Glue or sew Velcro to lock the flap and secure it. 
Place money in the two pockets and then seal the flap. This is a low-cost, water proof purse made from a throwaway tetrapak.
