I love when people laugh. The internet is full of laughs. After a bit of surfing and saving, I found these awesome cartoons and then some.....not blog appropriate! I have to admit that some of this was done last year. There are a few I have printed this year and added to the ones from last year.
I sprayed a piece of 8x11 1/2 paper with spray adhesive. |
I cut some white broadcloth to the same measurement as the paper...... |
Ironed the broadcloth to the sticky side of the paper. |
Positioned it in the printer..... |
Found my saved cartoon and set it up for printing..... |
Printed it using the high quality setting. |
Peeled it off the paper.....(which I reused 5 more times) |
Final product! Ready to sew into gift bags. Cartoon says....Santa! Just Another Guy Trying To Get Into Your Stockings! |
Trial position. (Poor Mr. Potato Head left his most valuable part at home) |
I ironed down the hem so that I could sew along the crease, to keep everything straight. |
Pinned it into position. This bag is for my Dad's gift. I had to leave the white border on this one so that my gift would fit inside. If I was stockpiling gift bags, I would have made a smaller bag. |
Sewed along the crease. |
Sewed the back to the front with right sides together. |
Ironed the top over for a finished edge. |
Stitched as close to the edge as I could. |
Zigzagged all the inside seams. |
Pulled Ribbon through at the seam. |
This bag has a button hole for the ribbon. I used the side seam to pull the ribbon through on all the other bags. That's what happens when slackers sew! |
I had printed this picture last year and used my glitter paint on the left edges of the tree. |
These two will be be gift bags for the Lavender Heat Bags that I make annually for my Dad and a few others. |
I turned this printout into a wine gift bag. |
Happy Bag Making!
