Several weeks ago, before I ended up getting run-down and sick, I volunteered to make little treat bags for the Halloween party at my church. My plan was to use the Art Philosophy cartridge and make them absolutely adorable. And then I got sick. So, at the last minute I was trying to cut out the 50 little bags and cute-en them up. I used a pad of Halloween paper that I had left over from a previous projects and Jay and I cut away. Once the bags were put together, I went back and added some little accents that complimented my paper and my parents helped me fill them an hour before the party. Talk about wheew! My one lesson that I learned was to make sure and use very strong adhesive so that when stuffed to capacity (which we did...lol) the bags don't pop at the seams. This ended up being a great way to use up some extra supplies that were in my studio that I might not have otherwise used. And, I am happy to report, they were a huge success at the party! For Art Philosophy users: I cut the bag at 5 1/2" so that I could successfully get two from each piece of paper.
Hi Tonya! So sorry to hear you were sick. Hoping you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteTreat bags are adorable! You do such great work.
