How to Create a Festive Floral Christmas Gift Bag
Hi everyone! Can you believe that Christmas is right around the corner? I can’t but I can say I’m a little ahead of the game and have a few holiday projects created ahead of time. This first project I want to share is for the 3rd Annual Comfort and Joy Event hosted by Eileen Hull. I up-cycled a cloth bag that a set of pillow cases came in and turned it into a gift bag for Christmas. I used the Sunflower Diecut to create my version of a poinsettia. Let’s get started!
First, I cut out the flowers and leaf out of paper from the Sunflower Die.
I used two of the smaller flowers and the leaf as a patterned to cut the felt slightly larger than the pattern.
I cut two of each of the flowers, total of four, and two leaves. I layered and adhered the flowers on top of each other. I did cut a set in a cream and peach color that I plan on using in another project (stay tuned).
The leaf I added a little glue to the center and pinched together.
Next I cut and tied in the center yellow embroidery thread and unwound. I adhered to the back of a flat back pearl, glued to the center of the flower and the leaf to the back of the flower. I also cut out a couple of hollies from green felt from the Funky Festive Thinlits and added.
I used an assortment of metallic threads, green thread, gold ribbons, gold vines, pom pom trim and red berry sprays to “bling” out the flower.
I have managed to acquire a collection of these fabric bags but never really knew what to do with them but now I do.
Once everything dried I adhered the flower below the elastic on the bag and let that dry well.
I added a body wash to the bag and now my first Christmas present is wrapped! YAY!
