Make this decorative burlap bag for someone special. A pretty layered flower completes the look for perfect gift giving!
1. Collect your supplies. Here is what we used:
+ felt (large enough to cut a piece that measures 12" x 2.5")
+ sewing thread
+ sewing needle
+ pinking shears
+ baker's twine
+ hot glue gun
+ burlap pouch
+ cardstock
2. Follow these simple steps to make the felt flower
A. Cut a 12" x 2.5" felt strip. We used felt, but try other fabrics for a variety of textures.
B. Use pinking shears to cut along one long edge of felt.
C. Using the pinked edge as a guide, cut thin strips leaving about .25" of felt at the top.
D. Thread needle and knot end. Loosely stitch along the top edge to gather felt. Pull tight to
form flower and knot ends to secure.
For a more full flower, repeat
steps A-D above & secure flower layers with glue.
3. Cut a long piece of twine and wrap around 2" wide card stock 50 - 75 times. Remove wrapped
twine loop from card stock and knot a smaller piece of twine around center of twine loop. Snip and trim both loop ends to create desired pom shape.
4. Glue flower to center of burlap bag, then glue pom to center of flower. Your bag is now ready to be filled with your favorite things!
