I can tell you how, I just made a zipper pouch from a Hershey's chocolate bag. I used Jenny Doan's method (Missouri Star Quilt Co.) as she demonstrated it on Utube. You need to buy fusible vinyl and fuse it to the outside of the empty candy bag before quilting it, adding the zipper and sewing the bag's sides. There's another lady on Utube who makes vinyl candy bag zipper pouches without quilting the candy bags. She just fuses vinyl to both sides of the candy bag and makes the pouch from that. I think Jenny Doan's look more substantial, so that's the method I followed, and I am very happy with my results---I intend to make more. Check it out on Utube.
