How? to make a personalized bag?
Supplies:
Burlap or Jute Bags Supersoft Transfer Paper
Ink Jet Printer
Iron
There are several ways you can personalize the bags:
1. Silk screening or freezer paper stencils. (see my Beach Bag Tote tutorial here)
2. Spray paint with stencils
3. Fabric applique
4. Transfer Paper
I chose transfer paper for these particular bags because I want pretty detailed graphics and it takes way too much patience to hand cut a stencil for something like that.
First, I created this little “Groceries” graphic in Photoshop. If I’m making a graphic that prints out onto multiple pages I usually use Powerpoint to size and print it because it turns out easier to visualize and match up. I printed out the graphic onto Super Soft Transfer paper.
I carefully cut out my graphic and made sure the two sides matched up, placing them face down onto the burlap bag. Pressing a hot iron for a few minutes (careful not to burn the paper or bag!) transfers the image to the bag. An instant custom bag comes out.
Now we can make custom bags for sister or friends as a gift.This would be a great bridesmaid gift or graduation gifts for friends. Bridesmaid Gift Idea or Graduation Gift Idea: Add a monogram to your personalized burlap bag.
We can make different sizes. Large size,make big enough for the beach, also Label one with a favorite quote, add a quote to a burlap bag for a gift.
