MME Sleigh Bells Ring Treat Bag Tutorial

    The new My Mind's Eye, Sleigh Bells Ring, I want it all bundle from FotoBella, has everything you could ever need to get an early start on your holiday projects! I came up with a quick and easy way to decorate this treat bag that's perfect for cookies, fudge, or even a gift card.


Supplies: My Mind's Eye Sleigh Bells Ring                  Other Supplies:
          
Treat Bags                                                                   Distress Inks:  Black Soot
Decorative Tape                                                                                Fired Brick
Mixed Bag                                                                                         Forest Moss
Word/Alpha Stickers                                                                         Peeled Paint
Bows                                                                          Glue
                                                                                   Black Puffy Paint
                                                                                   Blending Tool

Directions:

1. Use your blending tool to ink around the treat bag using Distress Inks (Fired Brick, Peeled Paint, and Forest Moss). Use just the pad of Black Soot to finish the edges.



2. Place a piece of the Decorative Tape along the bottom of the bag, and choose one of the many word stickers to go over it.




3. To make the bow, take all three pieces and use Black Soot Distress Ink all around the edges, using the blending tool, and finishing it off with the pad.



4. Take the longest piece and fold and glue the ends towards the back.



5. Now turn your bow over and glue it to the bottom piece, aligning the centers.



6. Use the little strip to wrap it around your bow, and glue the ends together.



   I finished it up by inking the edges of the bird, that comes in the Mixed Bag, with Black Soot Distress Ink, and using black puffy paint to make the eye. Thanks for looking!
