Happy Tuesday Everyone!
This week for 10 Things Tuesday at Practical Scrappers, the challenge is to use BURLAP! I have been purchasing and adding various burlap items to my scrap stash for the past year, but have not used a lot of it. I love the texture that it adds to layouts, although it makes a mess when cutting. And... I have discovered I am allergic to it. I itch constantly while working with it.
For this challenge I adhered a 6 x 12 piece of burlap to a 6 x 12 piece of cardstock that was adhesive on one side. This made cutting the burlap a lot easier and gave me cleaner edges when I cut my tag and banner piece. I then sewed around the edges of the banner and tag. I punched a star in the middle of the small kraft bag so the inserted tag would show through the bag, added a button and twine.
I layered the burlap banner with a smaller banner cut from a piece patterned paper and also added a punch border, button and twine to create a small bunting for the upper right hand corner of the layout!.
