Cutie Cloth Bag Deco

Difficulty: Intermediate

Description:
Have some left over plain cloth and do not know what to do with it? Don't worry, with a little twigs, just reuse it into a nice and cute bag deco.


What you'll need:
1. plain cloth - any size
2. needle and similar color thread
3. fine permanent marker (0.5mm)
4. color pencils
5. safety pin
6. scissor
7. pencil
8. cotton

How to make it:
1. Decide on the shape of your bag deco. In my case, I create a circle of 6cm in diameter. Draw on the cloth with pencil. Make sure you draw 2 of the same size.

2. Cut it out as on the picture on the right.

3. Use the needle and thread, stitch the 2 pieces of cloth togeher on the pencil lines. Leave about 2cm before you end your sewing of the circle. Remember to leave about sufficient thread to finish the sewing of the circle which is to be used in later step to seal off the remaining opening after everything is done.

4. With the help of a pencil, turn the cloth inside out.

5. Use the pencil, draw your picture onto the cloth, color the picture with color pencil.

6. Outline the picture with the fine permanent marker pen.

7. Stuff the cotton into the bag deco through the opening on the cloth.

8. Sew to close the opening using the remaining thread from step 3.

9. Sew a safety pin to the back of the cutie cloth bag deco.

You're done!!

Tips:
1. You can choose to sew on the safety pin on one of the cloth before you stitch the two cloths together in step 3.
2. If you wish to do a hanging bag deco, add the hanging string into step 3. Apply some glue to fix the position of the string before you sew.
3. This same idea can be used as keychain as well.
4. This method can be used to create felt bag deco as well.

Good luck in trying!!
