Burlap Flower Bag


I coffee dyed and embellished this little bag for a burlap flower challenge on the ning group Paper Digital Arts and Imagesbykim .  I used the Tim Holtz "Tattered Florals" die to cut the flower out of burlap and then layered it with some lace flowers, finishing it off with some twine and a little pearl.  Thanks so much for stopping by my nest and leaving such lovely comments, they always make my day.

Take Care - Robin

    I have four of these bags in my stash and have been itching to make something with them. I'm using one to store my truth cards from Soul Restoration 1. ROBIN! This is such an inspiration! I can't believe you posted this, as I've had these bags for over 5 years! Great minds...
    Hugs,

    What a sweet bag, who would have thought 10 years ago, that burlap would be such a popular fabric. I would like to invite you over to my blog. I'm celebrating my first magazine article with a giveaway. The project featured is vintage and made of muslin, burlap's best friend. Come check it out. Thanks, Cindy
