....to share!
As
I was going through all of my home décor preparing for the Fall Home Tour last
week, I came across these cute little bags.
By the way, I hope you all enjoyed the Fall Home Tour hosted by Brenda at Cozy Little House! I thoroughly enjoyed looking at all of the beautiful homes and seeing all of the different styles of décor.
I’ve been working on getting more rooms in the new house completed and hope to be able to show those to you before too long.
Okay, so back to the project. I don’t have the step-by-step photos to show you because I
made this a few years ago. Even after
all of our moves, they are still in great shape.
I purchased 4 small black craft bags. These can be found at Michael’s or Hobby
Lobby in any size and any color. I chose
black. I also purchased a bag of felt
letters and some gift basket stuffing, shredded.
I used plain Elmer’s to glue the letters on the bags. After the letters were dried, I used the shredded
paper to stuff the bags.
That’s all there was to it.
I have some cute little fall décor that can be used literally anywhere
and it took less than 15 minutes to make.
The supplies were inexpensive and I had letters and stuffing left over
for another project!
Hope your week is off to a great start!
Cute and 'do-able' DIY.
ReplyDeleteThat 'do-able' is very important for me. -grin-
Me also Tessa! I have to keep my craft projects on the low-key end or else they just become a big mess...LOL Hugs!!
DeleteSee, you can "do" a craft! Is there a possibility you can increase your font size? I have a hard time reading it.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
I can as long as they stay in the “non-complicated” arena! Yes ma’am, I will move to a large. I’ve had it on normal but am noticing that I’m having issues reading it as well. My contacts are just not holding up…LOL
DeleteI increased it...let me know if that is easier to read! "-)
DeleteSuper Cute!!!!
ReplyDeleteKris
Thanks so much Kris...easy peasy works for me! LOL
DeleteBenita, see you do have a crafty side! ;) Haha...you could fill them with Candy or really anything. I love the pumpkins and pine cones! Perfect craft for FALL!! Have a fab week! Hugs, Christine
ReplyDeleteYes, you could fill them with anything! LOL....I'm working on trying to improve my craft skills...I found a Pottery Barn Knock-off pumpkin I want to try...it only requires a little bit of paint...so we will see! LOL Thanks so much girl! Hope you are having a great Monday! Hugs!!
DeleteVery cute! You can make a banner the same way too! I have to stick with the easy stuff so this is good for me!
ReplyDeleteThank you ma'am! I may have to give a matching banner a try, especially since I can't put anything on top of the mantel due to the TV being mounted on the way! Easy stuff works best for me also!
DeleteCute. A+++ for a craft success!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I was excited…LOL It’s the little things.
DeleteHoly Moly girl - I just about choked on my desktop dining supper! I thought you did not do crafts and look at you with these cute bags! Could it be you will turn over a new leaf in crafting this fall (pun intended)?! I haven't crafted in ... decades and you have inspired me to get back on it . I have been wanting to make a repurposed wind turbine pumpkin I saw on Hometalk http://www.hometalk.com/7769329/repurposed-roof-wind-turbine Check it out I get to sneak in a piece of a stick for the stump - course my stick will likely be much beefier than the little twig they used. Don't tell your Hubster but I will likely harvest a freebie one from my deadfall for this purpose - if you got it flaunt it! lol
ReplyDeleteLOL...I know, it was such a shock wasn't it??!! :-) I'm going to try a couple of other ideas this weekend, hopefully! OMGOSH...those are too awesome!!! You will have to send me photos once you get it done. I just loved that and have now pinned it to my DIY board....amazing! And "mums" the word on the stick...LOL!!
DeleteBenita,
ReplyDeleteA craft project in the success column! Keep this streak up, and you'll have to get rid of those wood legs by the fireplace. :)
Judith
I know Judith, who'd a thunk it, right??!! HA...that's so true!!
DeleteLove these so cute and seem pretty easy. My kind of craft project. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I need easy-peasy and these were it! :-)
DeleteSeptember 22
ReplyDeleteHappy Autumn Equinox Eve!
Gentle hugs,
Tessa
You too Tessa! The Autumn Equinox always falls on my birthday, so it's usually a double celebration! :-) Love and hugs to you my sweet friend!
Deleteif i did crafts... which i don't...
ReplyDeletebut regardless...
i LOVE little bags like that... and little boxes. :)
i am more a 'sticks' person. ring a bell? LOLOL! xoxo♥
LMAO...you crack me up!! These are easy and I do not normally do craft projects either, since I usually fail miserably at my attempts. This was one of my better days and super easy! :-) I'm definitely a stick person also...much love and hugs!!
DeleteVery cute! And you say that you can't craft well.... pffft!
ReplyDeleteDon't kill yourself getting that house ready. I know you will anyway, but I just thought I'd try to get you to slow down a little ;)
love to you,
rue
Thank you so much! This was a 1 on my KDS, so it was worth the try…LOL.
DeleteBelieve it or not, we have been taking it a little bit easier. Some family issues have come up and I’ve had to focus on those things instead of unpacking boxes, so we are chilling on the house at the moment! My body is forcing me to slow down, whether I wanted to or not….sometimes it knows best! :-) Much love to you!! Hugs!!
These are darling, Benita! They just feel welcoming.
ReplyDeleteWindows open here, AC off. Isn't it wonderful? I could take a couple of months of it just staying this way, maybe a tad cooler.
Dewena
Thank you so much! They were easy and that works for me!! YES, the weather is so wonderful and I can't wait until the temps drop even more!! Love to you and hope you are feeling better!!
DeleteGreat idea!! Easy and just right for an Autumn touch.
ReplyDeleteThank You!
Thank you so much Carla! I need easy and stress-free…these fit that perfectly! :-)
DeleteGreat idea, Benita and so cute on your stairs!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! It's something easy for me to do! :-)
DeleteWow...look at you Crafty Girl! Maybe you've just been taking a little crafty break since these bags... ;)
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable! I have some little orange ones in my hoarding stash somewhere...must try to find those now and copycat you! They are so cute on your stairs! Would be really cute hung on wall pegs too...hmm...wheels are turning now...must go, you've given me a crafty idea! :) Hugs! Kimberley
LOL...I'm so glad I could be of help! :-) Thank you so much! Since they are so light weight, they could probably also be hung across a mantel on a small piece of rope or something and clipped with cute little clips! I do like your wall peg idea....that's giving me an idea as well....we are definitely in trouble! :-) Post what you do....or send me photos! :-) Hugs!!
Deleteyou forgot to explain why anyone would want to celebrate fall tho :))))) joke aside, this is a cute idea. doubt these bags would survive a weekend with monsieur's kids tho. I'd find the filling everywhere... xo
ReplyDeleteLOL...you are too funny!! Thanks so much...I have to do the easy stuff...nothing complicated here! Yeah, kids are the issue, as are animals...they think it's something to disassemble! And yes, you would! Hugs!!
DeleteSo cute! I'd have to find a high place to put them since the kids would think they are birthday presents,lol.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! LOL…I bet they would and would be so disappointed to find only stuffing inside…LOL
