Embellished Reusable Gift Bag
Liz is back with another gorgeous tutorial in time for Mother's Day! See how you can create this adorable tote using the eBosser & our sponsor; CAS-ual Fridays!
Hello Crafty friends!
Liz here today to share with you an
embellished reusable bag, created using the Casual Fridays Loving Thoughts Stamp set
and Casual Fridays Loving Blossoms Frie-Dies and
the fabulous eBosser.
The story behind:
If you have visited me before, you know
that I love using little scraps of either paper or fabric. A while ago I got a
bunch of these large polyester bags from OT, and I just love personalizing
them. They have been a great success with all recipients thus far J.
Since polyester doesn’t take heat all too well – ask me how I know *wink*- I
decided to embellish it using some “poomphed” flowers, stamps and some paint.
Keep it almost monochromatic so the flowers will stand out. What do you think?
Creative supplies:
Reusable
gift bag.
Cotton
fabric. Mine is muslin (twice as much as your phoomp) about (15 x 3 inch)
Phoomp
for fabric (about 8.5 x 3”)
Archival
ink, mine is Coral from HS.
Small
glass beads
Needle
and thread
Ribbon
for embellishing the top
Sewing
machine.
Stencil
(created with my eCraft)
Acrylic
paint
Cardboard
Stenciling
brush
eBosser plate combo: A + Metal plate + Fabric or Phoomp + Metal
Die + BCD
Craft Level: Easy
Time: 30-60 mins
Creative process:
Place a piece of cardboard inside your
bag where you are going to position your stencil. Using the paint, stencil your
monogram or initials. Let dry.
Using the thin metal dies cut your fabric
flowers and Phoomp flowers. You will need two fabric flowers per 1 Phoomp
flower.
Remove the backing of your Phoomp one
side at a time and apply it to the back of your fabric flowers.
Stamp the front of your flowers.
Sew in place and add your glass beads.
Make sure the ends of your threads are hidden between your bag and the back of
your flowers. Please note that your needle might be a little tacky from the
glue on the phoomp, after finishing your might want to clean it with a little
bit of alcohol or goo gone.
Using your sewing machine, sew the
ribbon/lace around the top edge and you are done!
Thank
you for stopping by! Have a crafty day!
