Soul Food #84~
With a little help from Freezer Paper.. and graphics..from a site that no longer exists:( And The GRaphics Fairy..link below...~ I made a few little gift bags for Easter~ You can add flowers by inserting a vessel for water and blooms..or candy..whatever you wish..They are not well made.. like double hemmed etc..they are frayed and shabby a bit~ Like me:)
You can add glitter ..and ribbon..and those tiny organza flowers I love..
Many of the tutorials are on my blog~ Have fun.
Hope this gives you ideas for Easter crafts~
The above..were done with graphics from the wonderful Graphics Fairy~
Enjoy~I really enjoy her search page..she has made it so easy for all~

Your tomato baguettes look delicious, Monique. I wish I made more bread. Really must do something about that.
ReplyDeleteYour Easter gifts are truly adorable. Everyone loves the "shabby chic" look....
Beautiful. Frayed and shabby - like me too!
ReplyDeleteit is always a heavy sigh of contentment here...
ReplyDeleteThe Graphics Fairy is one of the many inspirations I have gotten from you. I make gifts often using the same techniques. Everyone loves the results. Thanks again, Monique for yet another creative idea. And I am certain you are not frayed around the edges!!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely....gently worn...I love that look...
ReplyDeleteYou always have such beautiful ideas Monique.
Lots of blessings

So charming! I love the one with the Easter eggs on the front and your shabby-chic bunny sniffing the violets. I'm a little frayed too :-)
ReplyDeleteI love them they are really nice.
ReplyDeleteYour signature gift bags! Love the one with the Easter eggs and I wish I am as crafty as you, Monique.
ReplyDeleteHow do you make those pictures???? I don't know any of these crafty tricks... your art looks antique and so lovely... well done!!!
ReplyDeleteOh someone is going to be so lucky getting one of those beautiful bags!
ReplyDeleteI wish I were more crafty!
Once again you touched my soul!

Sweet Up-North Mornings...
Monique, you are always sewing up some little lovely. Everytime you do I feel inspired to try it, but haven't gotten around to it yet. I do love looking at all of her designs though!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day.
you have so much patience. Beautiful as always :)
ReplyDeleteGood Morning sweet girls..
ReplyDeleteThank you for looking past the flaws..:)
The pictures are printed on thin fabric.. fed into my computer with Freezer paper ironed on the the back of the fabric..the tutorial is on my blog as well as all over the net..after it's fed through the printer and your design is on it..you peel off the freezer paper and are left with fabric that has the image you want on it..then you sew on the project of your choice.
For my printer the fabric has to be quite thin..and I worried a few times..but it worked..
You are all so talented..these are easy peasy I promise.
wonderful title..soul food! lovely greetings
ReplyDeleteSo lovely your little bag !
ReplyDeleteI love your blog.

ReplyDeleteThese are so dainty and would love to make these; very creative. Monique,

ReplyDeleteYou are so very creative...always thinking up new ways to make us of ordinary things (such a freezer paper)! It's such a joy to visit, always!
ReplyDeleteWarmly,
