Soap Bag with Connie Mercer

Today's gorgeous vintage-style technique comes from DT Member Connie Mercer.  Connie stamped on one of our muslin bags with Ranger Archival Ink and a Darkroom Door stamp to create this one-of a kind bag.  Once she embellished it with sunny seam binding, some vintage trims, and a burlap butterfly, Connie added a bar of sweet smelling soap and had the perfect gift to make a friend's day brighter.  On the other hand, this project may just be too gorgeous to give away!

Muslin Bags 

Bakers Twine

With the weather being so cold in most of the country I needed a little bit more to keep my hands warmer than just a pair of gloves.  Using the 4x6 muslin bags from the shop I was able to create these super easy but useful hand warmers.

Project Instructions:

Since this will be heated up in the microwave you don’t want to decorate to heavily.  I stitched a simple heart with bakers twine in the center of my muslin bag.  Fill the bag with 1 cup of rice and stitch the bag closed.  Done!! Now 30 seconds in the microwave you have a little warmer to keep in your coat pocket.  Enjoy.  These would make wonderful gifts.

Stamped Muslin Bag with Kim Stewart

Today we are sharing a sweet little gift bag made by DT member Kim Stewart.  Kim stamped on a muslin bag, then used some Baker's Twine to sew on a fabric paper tree that she glittered for an extra festive touch.

We especially love the handmade detail of sewing the tree on with twine!  Check out these bags and all the supplies needed to embellish them for gift wrapping in our store.  Thanks for sharing, Kim!

Jennifer has it all in the bag today as she showcases our brand new muslin bags, accented with misting and Curtsey Boutique embellishments

"I first sprayed the bag with some Color Shine and then I layered the doily and the tag.  I also wrapped a small clothespin with some of the bakers twine to "jazz" it up a bit."
