Personalized Gift Bag

So I have this awesome friend who's getting married very soon and I got her a gift for her shower.  But I wanted a fun way to wrap it.  I came across this cute bag on Pinterest. but it turned out to be just an image that lead to an image website that is in a different language. So i decide to wing it myself.  And i'm pleased to say it turned out great. So i'm going to share it with you. 

here is the image I have to go off of.


So I gathered my tools...
~Canvas Bag
~Foam Brush
~Fabric Paint
~Paper Doily
~Freezer Paper
~Computer/Printer (for Letter)


Position the doily in the corner to your liking. I used double stick tape to hold the doily down. Then paint over the doily with your fabric paint. and pull off the doily when your done painting, no need for it to dry first.


Then pick your letter. I got on word and found the letter P i liked the best. (my friends new last name starts with the letter P) I printed it out. Next lay your freezer paper over the printed letter. Make sure the shiny side is face down. and use your cutting tool so trace/cut the letter out of your freezer paper.  Then iron the freezer paper onto the bag, and paint  over the freezer paper and peel off once you like the look. let dry and you have a gorgeous personalized bag.


Oh and the tulle bow i learned to make on pinterest too! 
Click here to see how it was made.  I added a safety pin to mine so it can be removed.

So a Gift to hold your Gift!  I hope you enjoy making your own!
