STITCHED DROP CLOTH VALENTINE’s treat BAGs

January 30, 2014 By Aniko 16 Comments

Perfect gift for teachers, friends and co-workers. DIY bag for Valentine’s Day to put your treats into them, made with love!

STITCHED VALENTINE'S TREAT BAGS @placeofmytaste.com

I really got into the mood of making heart shaped things around here. Love is in the air… ha…

Last month, around Christmas – I wrote a few posts, where I used the NOW very popular DROP CLOTH for my projects.
Drop cloth is so inexpensive {you can get a huge chunk at Home Depot for $10} and creativity is endless with it.
I made my Christmas Wreath and my Holiday Pillow Covers, and just recently my Rosette Valentine Wreath out of drop cloth,
and I think they all turned out excellent and very decorative.

I was thinking about what to make for my kids’ friends and teachers for Valentin’s day and I had and idea:

DIY bag for the treats!

I think they would make adorable homemade gifts.

Things you will need to make these darling bags:

– drop cloth

– embroidery floss, twine, thread  whatever you have at home}

-needle

– heart shape {cut out of pape }

-sharpie

– scissor

Okay.. I cut out about 3-4″ wide, long strips of the drop cloth and I cut my long strips in 3-4 pieces.

Then I folded one layer over the other, so the bottom of the bags would not have to be stitched.

I cut a heart shape out of paper and laid it on the drop cloth piece, then I painted the heart shape with my RED sharpie.

I repeated this step with each piece of drop cloth.

{You get a better picture here of what I meant by folding one piece over the other to save stitching on the bottom of the bags.}

So far it’s super easy, right?

Now on to the stitching part.

I have to tell you – this part took the most time of this project. But no worries, not too bad.

I stitched away while I was sipping on a cup of coffee during nap time on a cold Saturday afternoon – it was a piece of cake and I actually enjoyed it.

Started stitching from the bottom of the DIY bag and went little over half way with the stitches. I did the same thing on both sides.
Then I stitched horizontally, across the bag, leaving some thread on booth sides to have enough to tie the bag once it’s filled with the treats.

Sweet looking little treat bag, isn’t it?

I filled these little bags with Hersey kisses for the teachers and with tattoos and craft items for the kids.

I always think of something homemade when it comes to giving. Something that was made with love is worth more than anything. Like a DIY bag! 😉

Are you inspired?

I think they would make perfect little gift bags for school friends, teachers, even coworkers!

You still have a few weeks left until Valentine’s Day, so get on the project and make something with love for those you love.
