Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and lots of chocolate is given out that day. I thought I'd make a cute little treat bag just for that. I apologize in advance for the bad lighting in the picture today, but I had to take this one inside my hotel room while at CHA, and well, the lighting in there was terrible. I gave one of these to each one of the ladies that worked in the Lindy's Stamp Gang Booth at CHA. Inside the bag where some yummy Valentine's day themed M&Ms.
It was very simple to create, but it did require quite a bit of steps. I used some burlap fabric I bought a Joann's, Tim Holtz's Sewing Room die, Sizzix's Card Ornate XL Die, Stampin up's Top Note Die, a Quickutz Labels Die, a TPC Studio Stamp set, some lace, seam binding, carstock and an iamroses mini rose.I used crackle medium on the dress form, which I painted using Making Memories Acrylic Paint in the color Butterscotch. I sprayed some Lindy's Stamp Gang Scintilating Silver Glitz Spritz on the mini rose. The seam binding was from Martha Stewart, and the design paper I used is from the My Mind's Eye Laundry Collection. To seal the burlap together, I used my trusty hot glue gun, and in a few minutes I had a super cute treat bag. Closed it with velcro on the top and added a sentiment to the front, which I stamped in Chestnut Roan Colobox Chalk ink, using the TPC Studio Sewing themed stamp set I bought at Joann's.
Again, I'm so sorry for the bad lighting on this picture, but I just had no time before I needed to hand these out. I did make a video about it, which might give you a better idea of the colors and how the bag opens and closes. You can watch that below. Hope you enjoyed!

ReplyDeleteLove it! I want one... lol. I know, I'm bold. But I really just want to be able to see it in person, because they're THAT pretty!! lol...
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, I really did think you were gonna sew them by hand by a comment you made on the video (wanting them stitched). So glad you thought of a faster and more convenient way of getting those edges to stick together. SO SMART!! hehe

Love the treat bags. I think I'm going to show this to my friend and maybe she can make this as party favors for her wedding in August. We just need to get the sizzix die and a bigshot (since I only have the cuttlebug and those die don't fit in it, i tried, lol) Thanks for the cool idea.
