Well hello there! Thanks for dropping by! I have been having so much fun creating these drawstring bags. I literally stalked my Walmart to find these $0.97 fat quarters by Fabric Editions. Last week, I hit the jackpot!
I immediately knew what I wanted to make, but I also wanted to display the fat quarter rolls for the holidays, so this project turned out to be a two for one!
You can open the drawstring and fold it down and voila… it’s an instant “work from me” bag. When you’re all finished, simply cinch it up and everthing is nice a secure on the inside.
I’ll be adding some of these to my Etsy Shop. I have created a Design Space pattern for this and hope to share that as soon as I can find the time to record a video tutorial.
Check . your local Walmart for these fantastic finds! What I don’t use this year, I will simply cinch up in this fun little holiday bag for next year!
I can’t believe I’m already thinking about the Holidays! Where has this year gone? I want to get things ready a little ahead of time so I can sit back, sip eggnog and enjoy the kiddos this holiday season, so I went ahead and created this year’s personalized ornaments!
I am still working on those flannel scraps and decided to put them to use with an embroidery hoop!
To step it up a notch, I decided to create some wonky stitching around the edges, but this step is totally optional.
I think the stitching adds a little character and the handmade look, which I love.
I used a little HeatNBond, applied with the Cricut EasyPress to apply the canvas letters. You can see I reversed it on the letter D and used the flannel for the letter and the canvas for the background.
It’s a really easy way to create personalized ornaments for co-workers, family and friends!
Simply add an elastic string to the hoop closure and a little hot glued bow and voila… you’re all done! On to the next project.

Hello! Happy Saturday! Speaking of Saturday… next weekend I am headed to a wedding reception for a married young couple. I wanted to give them a little bit of handmade fun to help celebrate the occassion. I came up with this wood themed set.
I used the Cricut EasyPress 2 to add all of the personalization! It looks like its engraved or wood burned, but it’s not!
I thought about the fact that soon they would be celebrating their “First Christmas as Mr. and Mrs” and thought they needed a keepsake…. and besides, it matches!
The EasyPress 2 makes it so easy to customize all of your handmade goodies (and we won’t tell if you personalize store bought items, too! ) 🙂
These gifts are “made with love” and I can’t wait to share them with the Bride and Groom.
You know, I had to make a tutorial to go along with this! I think this is a really fun and really inexpensive gift idea and with the holidays around the corner, you just might want to grab some wood slices and create your own!
