It’s the end of the school year and time to give your favorite teacher a token of your appreciation. This easy burlap gift bag can hold a small gift and has a darling felt & button badge pin. After the gift is opened, the badge can be worn as a pin on a favorite sweater or tote bag and the burlap bag can be reused for future gifting.
Supplies:
- Burlap cut into a 6” X 5” rectangle
- Two 1 ½” diameter circles of felt
- Buttons-I love Buttons Galore & More’s Sweet Delights Buttons for this project!
- Embroidery Floss
- Pin Back
- Ribbon
- Basic sewing supplies & sewing machine
Instructions:
- Fold the burlap rectangle in half lengthwise. Sew a ¼” seam along the long sides. Leave the top open.
- Turn-out the burlap so that the seams are on the inside of the bag. Pull some strands of the burlap off of the top opening to give the bag top a frayed look.
- Hand sew buttons onto one of the felt disks. Using a straight stitch or running stitch, sew the embellished felt circle onto the blank felt circle.
- Sew a pin-back onto the back of the felt badge.
- Pin the badge onto the burlap bag.
- Fill the bag with your gift or candy. Tie the top closed with a decorative ribbon.
