Mini Muslin Bags

This was our final project.  I was very excited to show them this

technique of embossing on the mini muslin bags.  

The mini muslin bags are great to use for gift giving this Holiday Season.

This is how we did it:

1. Stamp the star from the Bright and Beautiful Stamp Set with Gold Encore Ink onto parchment paper.  Sprinkle it with Gold Embossing Powder and heat set.  
2. Iron both sides of the muslin bag, then put the parchment paper with the embossed side face down onto the bag.  Cover with a single layer of cloth and press with hot iron.  It took ours about 15-25 seconds to get the embossed image onto the bag.

Add a strip of gold sequins with a mini metallic clothespin.  Stamp a greeting onto Naturals Ivory cs with the Gold Encore Ink and sprinkle with the Gold Embossing Powder.  I stamped a To: From: on the back of my tag.  I used the Chalk Talk Framelits to cut it out.  Tie a piece of gold Bakers Twine onto top of tag, and attach tag to the drawstring on the bag.

I learned this technique from the very talented Jen Timko.  Some of the girls put homemade soaps into their bags for gift giving.  Below are the supplies used for this project.
