I love creating for each Holiday !
It’s a passion for me . It comes easy and I truly love it.
I had this beautiful material on hand and the first thing I thought of was Flags !
So here they are!
I hope you too enjoy creating them !
Supplies you will need:
• Material of your choice
• Dowels or Thin Branches
• Hot glue
• scissors
• iron
• raffia or ribbon
• Brown wax or Brown acrylic paint
So let’s get started !
I cut my material on the fold . So it was 5” but when you open it you should have a 10” piece.
If that’s the size you decide to make it .
I used this wonderful little heat press to smooth everything out as I went .
I cut my star material it was about 6” long x 2” high .
Again you can cut it on the fold .
So it would be 3” and when you open it should be 6” long.
I cut my piece of material.
You can decide for yourself how big you want yours .
My piece was 10” long x 5”high.
I used a little Heat Bond to apply my star material on .
I used my small heat press to secure it on.
This is how it should look.
I love using this little sewing machine for these small projects!
I sewed the side leaving the top and bottom opened so I can slide my dowel in .
I went ahead and sewed it on all sides.
Once I was done sewing it I used this little heat press to flatten everything.
Its just wonderful!
It was a gift from my daughter this past Christmas!
It’s so handy !
I used my favorite Dixie Belle Wax in Brown.
I love that grunge look!
know I know I say it all the time! 🤣
I inserted my dowels and added a little brown wax to that too!
I added a little drop of hot glue to the material just so the dowels don’t slide out.
For the finishing touch I tied some raffla bows to them .
How adorable!
I popped them in a mason jar with some battery operated fairy lights and it makes such a beautiful centerpiece!
