We are kick starting the week with another inspirational Easter crafting project. We have two more Easter posts to share with you this week to complete the series and we do hope that you have found at least one project to inspire you to create for Easter.
Today's project are these wonderful canvas gift bags that are very simple to make. We used heat transfer sheets from LaBlanche to iron onto some small canvas bags. We have included links below to the different heat transfer designs on LaBlanche website.
Let's start with a few close ups of each of the designs.
Materials Used:
Cotton Drawstring Bags - these can be sourced from Amazon or Ebay
Additional Supplies:
Iron
Heat Resistant Board
How to Make:
1. Preheat your iron for cotton textiles and deactivate the steam.
2. Choose the design you want to use from the sheet and roughly cut around it with some scissors.
3. Place the cotton bag on a heat resistant board and give it a quick iron to make sure it is wrinkle free and preheated.
4. Place the iron on motif on the fabric and cover with the parchment paper that is included in the packaging. Place the iron on top for 40 - 60 seconds and always keep the iron moving and do not let it rest on the motif.
5. After ironing the motif, leave to cool for a few minutes. Begin to pull the film from the corner of the motif. If the design has not completely transferred, place the parchment on top of the motif again and iron for a further 20 seconds.
The technique can be a bit fiddly in terms of getting the pressure and timing correct but once you ave done a few you get use to a method that works for you.
Gather some Easter treats and put them inside the bags for additional gifts this Easter!
