Recycled Kraft Printed Shopping Bag

Pinking Scissors

Recently, while out shopping, I received a very fun kraft shopping bag with a vintage-ad print, which was way too cool to throw away. Although the bag was a bit too big for an average gift bag, I've saved it and cut it apart to create all new bags, like the one here. It's super easy to make your own bags, and it's earth-friendly and budget-friendly, too.

Instructions:

1. To get started, cut open the kraft shopping bag. Then cut two rectangles from the paper in the desired size of your finished new bag. Cut both pieces to the same width, but allow an extra 1/2" in height on the second piece. For my bag, I cut my two pieces at 6" x 8" and 6" x 8.5".

2. Cut the tops of both pieces of printed kraft paper with pinking scissors. Lay the wrong sides of the paper together and then machine stitch down both sides. Fold up the bottom 1/4" of paper, edge with brown ink, and adhere flap using Glue Arts High Tac adhesive.

3. Cut various strips of 12" patterned paper in different widths. Adhere strips together. Add die cut scalloped border. Adhere lace trim to the top and bottom edge using Glue Arts Ribbon Adhesive.

4. Fold finished strip in half and adhere to the center of the bag using High Tac adhesive.

5. Tie inked ribbon around the center of the gift bag.

6. Fussy cut a journaling card from patterned paper and adhere to the center of a shipping tag. Die cut a doily from patterned paper and adhere behind the tag. Fussy cut a typewriter from the patterned paper and adhere to the tag with U Cut It Foam adhesive.

7. Embellish with a sentiment strip cut from the paper, Messages die cuts, and matching yellow buttons.

Happy Bday Card

GlueArts Designer: Patti Milazzo

Supply List: 
Glue Arts- 
Glue Glider Pro 1/4 Perma Tac Cartridge Refill - Pro
U-Cut-It Adhesive FoamRaise ‘Ns

Nikki Sivils: Noah Collection Kit


Instructions:
Create a 6" square card from kraft and set aside.

Cut a 6" square of blue pattern paper. Also cut a 5" square of kraft cardstock and adhere it to the front of the blue paper using the Glue Glider Pro with Perma Tac Adhesive. Machine stitch around the border of the kraft square twice.

Punch 9 circles from a mix of patterned paper. I used 1" circles around the outside and a 2.5" circle in the center. 



Cut pieces of U-Cut-It Foam Adhesive to fit behind the center circle and a few of the smaller circles as well. Apply Raise 'Ns to the remaining circles for just a bit of dimension.

Apply letter stickers for the sentiment on the center circle. Use more U-Cut-It Adhesive Foam to add the "Happy" tag and heart die-cut.

Add additional tiny die-cuts to the circles by cutting the Raise 'Ns - leave the paper and clear plastic backing on to cut the Raise 'N into 4 small pieces.

Use the Glue Glider Pro again to adhere the embellished card front to the 6" kraft card to complete.

Time to Think About Spring with GlueArts!

Spring is by far one, if not my most, favorite season of all. I love the introduction of bright, cheery colors which is a welcomed sign to me that we are ending another cold and snowy winter. So to welcome the new season, I decided to put together some fun, bright colored fabrics and start my Spring decoration at home with a homemade rosette pillow.  

Spring Rosette Flower Pillow 

GlueArts Designer: Grace Tolman

Supplies Used:

Glue Arts Glue Gun

Glue Arts Glue Sticks

Fabrics

Pillow or pillow form

Button- GCD Studios

Baker’s twine- Pink Sorbet, Twinery

Thread- Coats and Clark

Sewing Machine- Kenmore

Others- Zipper, Iron and Ironing Board

Instructions:

1. Gather your supplies

2. I wanted to reuse an old throw pillow so I made a case for it first using a solid colored fabric and added a zipper to the case to make it easy for me to change it up when a new season comes.

3. I started the rosette flowers by cutting pieces of fabrics that is 4” x 20”. I wanted my flower to be big so I used about 10 different but coordinating fabrics.

4. With wrong side facing you, fold the fabric in half and machine stitch to close.

5. Turn the fabric inside out and iron.

6. Bring the fabric strip back to the machine and stitch in the middle, folding the piece as you go along.

7. Once you’ve made all of your rosette strips, you can start assembling the flower. Plug in your Glue Arts glue gun and place a piece of cardboard inside the pillow case to keep the glue from transferring to the other side of the case.

8. Use a plate or any circle form and lightly trace the shape. This will be your guide for the flower.

9. Working from the outer edge of the circle, start adhering your fabric strips using the Glue Arts glue gun. Overlap the edges of each fabric strip for a more finished look.

10. Thread some twine through a big button and adhere this to the center of your flower using more Glue Arts glue gun.

now I have a pretty flower pillow to adorn my otherwise boring black couch!

Audrey captures spring with these sweet thread spools with springy flowers...

Flower Picks 

GlueArts Designer: Audrey Pettit

Supplies:

Glue Arts Ribbon Adhesive

Glue Arts Glue Gun and Glue Sticks

Wool Felt

Embroidery Floss

Wooden Skewers

Spray Mist (optional)

Buttons

Spools 

These spring flower picks are a quick and easy home decor project, and SO fun to make. To get started, gather your supplies. 

I picked up some wool felt from my local big box sewing store. To save on supplies and expense, I purchase one wool felt in a deep, mossy green, and a second piece in a neutral cream with the idea in mind that I could dye the cream to any color I chose. If you want to skip this step, simply purchase felt in the colors of your choice.

1. If you're using cream felt and want to dye it other colors, simply pour some spray mist or re-inkers into a disposable container and soak your fabric in the colorant for several minutes. Squeeze to remove all excess liquid, and then lay flat to dry. 

2. While your fabric is drying, move onto the stems. To create each stem, cut a wooden skewer to the desired height. Cut a length of green wool felt that is just wide enough to wrap around the skewer. I guessed the size by laying the skewer at the edge of my fabric and rolling it up until covered. Cut a notch and then unroll the skewer and cut the entire length off.

3. Apply Glue Arts Ribbon Adhesive along the entire length of felt, making sure to apply strips on each edge. 

4. Lay the wooden skewer at one edge, and roll up. The adhesive will keep the felt in place. I whip stitched along the seam for a decorative touch, but this is not necessary.

5. Lay two small scrap pieces of green felt together and straight stitch simple leaf designs. I made one leaf per stem. Cut out leaves and whip stitch them to the stem. 

6. Cut two different sized circles from the dyed felt. I used a 2" and a 1" circle for mine. You will need to cut two of the larger circles per flower, and one of the smaller circles.

7. Blanket stitch around the edge of the smaller circle. Stitch a button to the center, then stitch the smaller circle to one of the larger circles.

8. Apply a strip of Ribbon Adhesive to the last remaining circle. Press the tip of the stem into the adhesive, then place the stitched circles with button over the top. Blanket stitch around the edge of the larger circle. 

9. Tuck finished flower into a wooden spool. For a tight and more permanent hold, add a bit of Glue Arts hot glue into the spool's hole first. 

WOW! How's that for one fantastic way to kick off a Monday and the first full week of spring!! Stop by all week long while we bring you more Easter and spring treats with fabrics and GlueArts Adhesives!
