I am absolutely thrilled with the trick-or-treat bags I created this weekend. I decided to make the bag out of burlap and used a LARGE bowl to help draw the basic pattern for the bag. I used orange flannel to trim off the top with black ribbon for the handles. Then it was time to embellish!
I knew I wanted to personalize each bag with the girls names. I used my Slice to cut out the patterns for the letters. Love when I can use tools for scrapbooking with other types of crafting.
I really was wishing I had some heat n bond for these letters, but I managed with what I had. Note to self need to restock that in my craft arsenal!
After creating some patterns to embellish the front of each bag, I laid out the pattern pieces to ensure a great fit.
Ella requested a pumpkin bag. I am really happy with the results and most important so is she!
Natalie requested a witch with bats on her bag. She is excited to collect candy next weekend with her new bag!
The pattern pieces were sewn with my machine and some that were on the small side were sewn by hand.
At the last minute I added gingham ribbons to the base of each handle. Can you say super SWEET?!
There is still 1 week before Halloween ... there is still time to create heirloom trick-or-treat bags...or save the idea for next year. It will make a great gift!
Hope you are having a fun creative weekend!
Your creativity in making bag is really amazing and nice design you have shown.
