Hello!
This month for my Gwen Studios project I created a flowered bag using their ribbons, buttons and iron-on patches.
 |
| Flowered Bag |
A bag, canvas or burlap
Gwen Studios 3/8" ribbon, pastel buttons, bee patches
Hot glue, Felt Glue
The following are links to Walmart.
For the flowers, choose your buttons. Cut matching or contrasting ribbon in 3" pieces. I used 8 per flower and hot-glued them to the back of the button.
I added a smaller button in the center of the larger one.
Arrange your flowers on the bag as desired. Mark the stems with a fabric marker if you like.
For the stems and leaves, cut green grosgrain ribbon in the lengths to fit your design. To adhere the ribbon to the bag, I used Felt Glue from Beacon Adhesives.
Adhere the stems first aligning them with the bottom seam. I tucked the ends of the ribbon into the seam. If your bag doesn't have a seam, you could fold under the end of glue some buttons over the ends.
Hot glue the flowers over the ends of the stems. Use felt glue to adhere the leaves. I overlapped the leaves and tucked the ends into the seam. I left the top of the leaves unglued.
To finish, glue the bumblebees among the flowers.
