How to Make a Reusable Fox Canvas Gift Bag.

I recently received some beautiful suede ribbon and embroidered patches from Gwen Studios

to create with.  After rummaging through a “box of stuff” and finding a piece of canvas material,

I decided to make a reusable canvas gift bag.

Gwen Studios Ribbon is Available at Walmart.

Directions:

• Fold-down the top of the canvas (lengthways) approx. 1″ and sew a seam across the top leave a 3/4″ pocket.
• Fold the canvas in half and sew the remaining three sides closed.
• Trim excess canvas and turn the canvas inside out to reveal the bag.
• Sew or glue the suede ribbon on the bottom of the bag.
• Iron Fox Embroidered Patch onto the front of the canvas using an iron set on the cotton setting.
• Cover the embroidery with a damp cloth and iron for 60 seconds.
• Turn bag over and iron until dry.

• Cut two small slits on the top pocket of the bag on each end.
• Cut two 24″ pieces of black satin ribbon.
• Attach a small safety pin to the end of a piece of ribbon.  Thread the ribbon through the top of the bag, remove the safety pin, and knot the ribbon.
• On the opposite end of the bag, thread the second piece of ribbon through.
• Pull both ends of the ribbon to gather and close the bag.

• Cut two small layered tags out of burlap and cardstock.
• Stamp or handwrite a small greeting onto the tag.
• Tie the tags along with a small brass embellishment onto the top of the bag with twine.

The reusable canvas bag is a simple project to make for all seasons.
