f you’re like me, you love to stitch Christmas ornaments. But because they are small, they tend to accumulate. Why not put and ornament onto a gift bag?
It makes a festive present and is an easy way to finish an ornament. The folks at Phoenix Needlepoint posted the how tos and made this bag as a model for the shop.
You’ll need a fabric bottle bag, a stitched needlepoint, glue, and coordinating trim. For a bottle bag, an ornament that is tall and thin will work best. If your ornament is a different shape, look for other types of fabric bags to embellish with this technique.
I keep thinking of great ways to use this idea. Why not make a Petei design (especially one of the Petei people) and put it on a bag? Or what about a tall, thin house on a bag as a hostess gift? Much better than a prosaic paper bag.
A big shout out to Jane fro Chilly Hollow for pointing this out.
