Who doesn't love filling little bags with treats for friends? And who doesn't love burlap? Here is a fun little way to make a little burlap gift (or treat) bag yourself. And the perfect part of it is that you can customize it to be the size you want! Perfect to hand out little treats or cookies with on Valentines day!
Here's what you need:
- Stitch® Glue Squares
- 12" x 12" Burlap Sheets (stiffened)
- Ribbon or yarn
- Scissors
- Whole punch
- Ruler or tape measure
Here's what you do:
- Measure how tall you want your gift bag to be and cut your burlap sheet to that height.
- Fold burlap sheet in thirds.
- Take your whole punch and punch out the shape of a heart.
- Thread your ribbon or yarn through the holes.
- Put Stitch Glue Squares or Permanent Glue Dots along the edge of the sheet folded in thirds and adhere together.
- Fold in the sides at the base of the bag, and then fold the front and back down at the base. Adhere with Glue Dots again to keep base closed.
- Fill your bag with a stack of cookies or another treat of your choice and close at the top. (You can just fold it over and adhere with glue dots again or I punched another couple of holes and added another ribbon to the top.
It turned out so cute. I love that I can use burlap this way to make my own custom bags!
