Instructions:
1. To get started making your pouch, cut a perfect square in any size from burlap fabric. Cut a second square a 1/2" smaller from text weight kraft paper. My burlap square for this project was 7".
2. Stamp a pattern onto the kraft paper using a large background stamp, if desired.
Machine stitch the kraft paper square to the center of the burlap square. This will give the burlap some stability and will keep it from continuing to unravel.
3. Place the burlap square on the diagonal in front of you, so that you are looking at a diamond shape. Fold in the left and right corners until they meet in the center. Fold up the bottom corner until it also meets in the center. Hand stitch the points together with a few stitches in the center to create the pouch.
4. Cut a 1 1/2" strip of patterned paper to go around the center of the pouch.. You may have to adhere two strips end to end to get enough length to go around. Wrap strip around the pouch and adhere the ends with Extreme Adhesive Squares.
5. Punch several layers of scalloped circles from the text weight kraft paper, and a variety of circles from patterned paper. Adhere the shapes together with Extreme Adhesive Squares. Top flower with a button and a bead threaded with hang tag string. Affix flower to the belly band using Extreme Adhesive Squares.
6. Embellish a shipping tag with images cut from patterned paper and rub-ons. Add a sentiment created with small alpha stickers. Affix lace trim across the bottom using the Micro Extreme Adhesive Squares, and add a reinforcer sticker to the top hole. Tie a big bow at the top of the tag and pin the tag to the burlap pouch.
7. Tuck a doily inside the pouch and fill with your favorite small treat.
