No Sew Halloween Project

I wanted to make a personalized trick or treat bag for Madison. I know she won't be using it this year, but maybe the next. It was so simple to make and there was no sewing involved. This is how I did it.

First I started with an ordinary boring book bag I had on hand. It use to look like this.

Next I cut black fabric to cover the red screen print I didn't want to show.

Then I cut out an orange pumpkin from some Halloween material I had.

I followed that with the letter M I cut from black polka dot fabric.

I used some Heat and Bond to fuse them all together. Found in the craft/sewing section of Wal-mart.

I took it over to my ironing board and followed the instructions.

Next I cut-up strips of matching fabric to ragamuffin the handle.

I tied them on and added some pretty ribbon with hot glue.

Wa-la, you've got yourself a pretty bag for Halloween.

Maddie is gonna love it one day.
