Heart shaped gift bag and card

This is a simple project that makes a nice small gift and matching card. It requires some forethought to colour coordinate.You will need:

Sheer fabric

ribbon

base fabric

felt

sequins and beads

• Photocopy the base fabric onto white card I have used an old skirt that I liked
• Using a toning fabric make a small bag which is a long piece of fabric edged and then folded into three.
• Attach ribbons to close
• Using a felt heart( To make a heart shape fold a piece of paper in half and draw half a heart ensuring accuracy) Use the heart template to cut out the felt.
• Decorate the felt piece with sequins and beads and attach to the front piece of the bag.
• To make the matching card ( It is possible to make more than one card from the photocopy)  Cut the card to the required size and then I have kept up the theme of three and folded the outside edges of the card to the centre making a three fold card.
• Using sticky pads attach a piece of ribbon to the outside of the card and attach the ribbon underneath and then attach a small piece of decorative piece on top.
• This allows the ribbons to close the card.
