Just bought bits to make personalised bags for BM's *UPDATE*

Kadence, 19 February, 2012 at 22:21 Posted on Planning 0 21

Was inspired by an earlier thread, think these bags would be lovely to pop my BM gifts in but i'm not going to pay £40 for one when I can do it myself! Sum total of £9.77 for three plain jute bags and 10 fabric paints! Will flash my progress as I go along ?


(Claireabella bags, abot £40)
(my attempt!)

    Soulmates I think the market is a bit saturated TBH, but I did love doing it. Going to crack on wit the others tonight. It's lovely as you can really pout their personalities in there, like this for my CBM has her little puppy, Toby Puggles!

    You really could Banana88, it really isn't as tricky as it looks - the jute bags are so easy to sketch onto, it's quite theraputic!

    Might have to consider it as they look fab! I'm making my BMs a goody bag up so these would be fab. Off to trawl through ebay ?
