In our home lately we have been attending one birthday party after another. I love this quick and easy way of embellishing our burlap bags. This would be perfect for a few bottles of nail polish, a gift card or other small gift.

Wedding Gift Box with Jenifer Cowles

I needed a quick box for a wedding I was attending recently and this turned out just perfect.  Using 8 doilies I accordion folded them into quarters and hot glued them onto a circle to make a fun layered doily flower.  I stacked a flower on a button for a center.  A sprig of stamens and some wire string and I was ready to go with a fun custom box in just the colors I needed.

The detail and care Connie put into these tags is simply delightful. I love how she stamped the cursive wording on top of the fabric. These red and ecru ticking tags are fabric permanently adhered to cardstock so using them in crafting projects is simple and offers endless possibilities. 

She hung our rustic vintage inspired keys by a jump ring from the tag and used our glitter deer and brown seam binding to top off her lovely pieces.

Stenciled Burlap Bag with Sarah Webb

Our burlap bags are so versatile that you've seen them embellished a number of ways on the blog. Sarah shares a unique take today. She first misted the burlap bag with white and than layered turquoise on top. A truly clever way to get lighter colors to show up on a kraft background

Her bag is is topped with our medium white rolled roses, seam binding and a mini shipping tag.

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."

DIY Christmas Gift Bag Kits - Mini Lunch Bags

Curtsey Boutique Gift Bag Kits

My workshop is overflowing with boxes of new items for the shop. I am sorting, photographing and listing them as quickly as possible.

 In preparation for the Christmas season I'm adding a ton of new things including these fun mini lunch bags pictured above and a few kits to make using them hassle free for the holidays.

These small bags come in kraft and white, embossed with polka dots or plain.  The middle bag is scalloped punched with holes already made for the baker's twine to thread through.  I've tried to think of cute, and quick packaging solutions for your candies, cookies and other small gift items.

The fabric flower on the left bag can be made in any of the shops 40 fabric colors.

These are 1 lb bags that measure at full size: 3.5 x 2 3/8 x 6 7/8.

You can of course purchase these mini lunch bags without any embellishment and they would make fun paper bag albums that a large shipping tag would fit in perfectly. Perhaps I'll have to make one soon.

I'll keep updating the blog as items are listed.

Have a lovely day,

CarrieAnne
