Introduction
Here is a quick easy project with bold colorful graphics that would make a good bag for a small gift. No templates to download this time! It's stamped with ColorBox Crafter's ink, which is waterproof after heat setting.
Tools and Materials
Muslin Drawstring Bag 4 x 6
Rubber Stamp: Retro Pattern Maker Unmounted
ColorBox Stylus Handle
Large Circle Moldable Black Foam Tip
Memory Essentials Bits and Pieces
Memory Essentials Get Rollin’
Memory Essentials Terrific Tool & Tips
Ink Colors:
Clean scrap chipboard
Clean scrap paper
Iron
Hemp cord or thin yarn
Large sewing needle or piece of scrap wire
Beads
Preparation
- Cut a piece of scrap chipboard, 8" by 3 1/2".
- Insert the piece of chipboard into the muslin bag.
- Iron the bag to remove any wrinkles. Turn off the iron.
- Insert a Large Circle Moldable Black Foam tip into the end of a ColorBox Stylus Handle.
- Heat the foam tip according to the instructions on the package and press down onto the line portion of the rubber stamp Retro Pattern Maker.
- Wrap a couple of rubber bands from the Memory Essentials Bits and Pieces set around the clear part of the Memory Essentials Get Rollin’ stamping wheel.
Stamp the Bag
- Place the bag, with the cardboard still inside, onto a work surface protected with scrap paper.
- Ink up the Get Rollin' wheel with Apricot Crafter's ink. Roll over the bag to make a vertical stripe. Re-ink and repeat until there are vertical stripes distributed over the bag.
- Ink up the molded foam tip with Orchid ink. Stamp several circles randomly over the bag.
- Attach the small circle tip from the Terrific Tool & Tips set to the end of the handle. Ink it with Ochre ink, and stamp several times randomly on the bag.
- Now attach the blank tip from the Terrific Tool & Tips set, and with one of the included adhesive squares, attach the small thick rubber washer. Stamp several times with Orange Ink.
- Clean the tip and replace the small thick washer with the large narrow washer. Stamp over the bag several times with Terracotta ink.
- After the ink has had a chance to dry, you can stamp the other side of the bag if you want to.
Heat Set the Ink
- After the ink has had a chance to dry, turn your iron back on. Iron the bag again between two sheets of scrap paper, then turn off iron.
Add New Drawstring
- Remove the existing plain drawstring from the muslin bag, and replace with a piece of hemp cord or some thin yarn or string in a complementary color. To get the new string through the holes in the bag, if you have a large blunt needle with an eye big enough to accomade the string, try that. If you don't have a big enough needle, try making one out of a piece of scrap wire.
- Tie beads onto the cords ends for decoration.
