Please enjoy this simple holiday packaging idea. I've been so inspired by my favorite craft blogs lately, and just wanted to share a recent project from my home to yours!
#1: Gather those pre-made Anthropologie cloth receipt bags.
Anthropologie sometimes sends receipts in these plain cloth bags, so I've saved up quite a stash and thought I'd put them to use. This year I decided to put my handmade gifts in them by cleverly covering up the Anthropologie logo with some cotton twill tape and a hand-stamped sentiment.
#2: Sew on the cotton twill tape.
I chose a cotton twill tape about a 1/2" wide in the same color as the bag. I sewed a few straight stitches on either end of twill directly to the bag.
#3: Stamp design on the twill and let dry.
I chose a pigment ink in a mink brown. Pigment inks work great on fabrics but take a little longer to dry. You can set it with an iron but be sure to put a cloth on top to protect!
Happy Holidays!
