My little boy had his 5th birthday party on Saturday (sad!) and I wanted to have a handmade party favor to give to the kiddies.
I decided on personalized drawstring bags for goodies.
I used this {super easy} tutorial, and made 20 goody bags.
I added an initial to each before assembling them, as well as bead{s} to the drawstring.
This was the first time I have used my free-motion foot for appliqué. Holy easy!
I had a really really hard time letting these sweet things leave my house!
We filled them with candies, squirt guns and bubbles, and Lip Smackers for the girls.
This was a fabulous project for stash busting! And all 20 bags took me about 4 hours total. (That 4 hours includes changing diapers and making lunch:) )

Had to be careful with this picture... I can spell a swear word with all those initials! |

ReplyDeleteLovely idea - we did the same for my daughter's birthday this year - she's a little older (8) and helped make them. Her friends loved them!
