DIY Gold Glitter Striped Muslin Bag Tutorial with Rebekah Faries
 |
| DIY Gold Glitter Striped Muslin Bag Tutorial Curtsey Boutique Designer Rebekah Faries |
Gold seems to be the color of the moment and feathers are fun and everywhere you look in the crafting world. Today's DIY technique teaches you how to mimic the beautiful gold glitter bands on Rebekah's bag.
The secret is using double sided quick hem tape which can be found in any sewing store.
Regular double sided tape won't stick to fabric well, but quick hem tape is made for fabric and holds beautifully.
1. Simply decide how many bands of color you want, trim to size and adhere.
2. Be sure to rub all over with a bone folder (or your fingers) to guarantee great adhesion of the tape to the fabric.
3. Peel off the protective paper and cover generously with glitter.
4. Press the glitter into the tape before tapping off any excess.
Voila! Mess free bands of yummy gold glitter.
Add Baker's Twine and other embellies to jazz up your bag.

Love Always Mommy Layout by Lisa Spiegel
 |
| Love Always Mommy Layout Curtsey Boutique Designer Lisa Spiegel |
Have you ever pulled out a coat or purse after having not used it in awhile and discovered a $10 bill? It is such a lovely unexpected surprise. The same thing happened to me today when I was doing a bit of inbox cleaning I found one more project from Lisa that I hadn't shared yet with you - a lovely surprise!
Lisa filled her layout with doilies, a library card, vellum bag and our shipping tags.
In her own words "I use all of these products on almost every layout I create! I just love the subtle layering they allow and the ability to hide my journaling in the vellum bag is one of my best tricks to sharing meaningful journaling that you might not want everyone looking through your album to see."
