Patriotic Peeps Decorated Bag

Another addition to my I Love the USA Blog Hop projects is a Patriotic Peeps Decorated Bag!

Materials used:

Canvas Bag

Laura Kelly’s Patriotic Peeps Fabric, available at JoAnns Stores

Heat’n Bond Ultrahold

Iron

Fiskars Scissors

First, I ironed the Heat’n Bond Ultrahold to the back of the fabric. I then cut out the Peeps and a few of the stars and pompoms and wands! I also cut out strips from the fabric.

Once everything was cut out, I then lined it up on the canvas back, removed the backing of the Heat’n Bond and then ironed it to the bag!

This was a super simple project, but it turned out really really cute and I am currently using it to carry around some books and other things! Oh, and I also attached my personalized bag tag that was made for me by Laura Kelly!

4th of July Garden Flag

In addition to my 4th of July Banner for the I Love The USA Blog Hop using Laura Kelly’s Patriotic Fabric, I made addition projects. This project was a simple 4th of July Garden Flag! I love it and it will proudly hang in my front lawn for the 4th!!!

Materials used:

Laura Kelly’s Patriotic Fabric, available at JoAnns Stores

Burlap, also available at JoAnns Stores

Laura Kelly’s Patriotic Mix of Buttons from Buttons Galore & More

Coats & Clark Thread

Apple Barrel Acrylic Paints

Coats and Clark Embroidery Floss

For the sizing of the flag that I wanted, I basically just took the measurement from a garden flag that I have.

Next, I folded over the edges and sewed them just to keep it from fraying.

On the burlap, I used a pen to write out Happy 4th of July.

Then, I painted the letters with Apple Barrel Acrylic Paints.

Next, I used Coats & Clark Embroidery Floss and Laura Kelly’s Patriotic Mix buttons to attach the burlap to the flag.

I made sure to tie them so close to the edge of the burlap so that if the burlap decided to lose a few strands, it wouldn’t fall off.

I hope you like my little 4th of July Garden Flag!
