Newspaper Gift Bag Epic Failure + Fabric Flowers





So, for our cooking and craft day we decided to make gift bags and Thai noodles. The Thai noodles were good. ...The gift bags on the other hand were confusing instructions and a pain in the butt. The ones that I tried to make at home looked like popcorn bags that had the Biden Laden 500 feet title from the onion standing tall humorous as ever, and not a all functional for a gift bag. Last night, in a weird search for good fabric flowers I found the DIY for making your own, only for decor really-- they will be destroyed by the wash. I made some and they are more shabby then chic but for a little girls headgear it works. It was annoying to wait for the starch to dry, I learned with scraps of fabric cotton is the best fabric to work with. Here is how you make them:



1. starch fabric (I've noticed that cotton works the best)



2. cut out flowers in different sizes



3. Bind flowers together in the order you desire



4. Top flower off with an embellishment.



5. Add them to a clip or headband, or card.


6. If you want to add a bit of texture iron then and curl them with moving the fabric the way you want when it is still warm from ironing.
