To those coming over from Giveaway Day at Sew, Mama, Sew!, The giveaway is over HERE. If you would like ideas on how to make the set that I am giving away then stick around at this post.
I recently made this set of stuff to help in your devotions time to give away. Since not everybody will get to win I thought I would share some links to tutorials so that you could make your own if you like.
- To make the journal I simple covered the front of a regular notebook with fabric and then decorated it. Here is the link to instructions where I actually made a journal and then decorated it similarly to the one above.
- For the memory verse cards I simply cut out card stock rectangles (you could use index cards) and then using my heart shaped paper punch I cut a bunch of hearts from colored paper or card stock. I then glued them on to look like a flower. In the center of the flower I glued a piece of yellow or green paper that had been punched out with my snowflake punch. (It made a really nice stamen look I thought.)
- For the bookmark I simply threaded a bunch of beads on some thin wire and formed it in the shape of a flower. Then I attached the ribbon.
- For the bag I made it following this basic tutorial (but not doing the folded flower pocket). I then made one of these melted fabric flowers and sewed it on the pocket.
The set was very fun and not that hard to make. I hope you enjoy making it too if you give it a try!
The basic tote bag pattern is one I have made over and over again- do you have any favorite patterns that you repeat over and over? I would love to hear your thoughts!
