Guest Post- very cute handmade felt jewelry bag
Hello my name is Melike and I am here to share with you my handmade felt jewelry bag. I have a Etsy shop called A Cup of Sparkle. and I truly like making things special for my customers. This simple project would make for a great gift for a friend, mother, sister, etc. I wanted to make
A Cup of Sparkle jewelry even more special. I designed and handmade
this cute red jewelry bags with an addition of a Handmade hand charm. I don’t have a
sewing machine at home; so, I did hand-stitching. It is such a fun project… I cannot wait to get different colors of felt and make it in different colors.
Here is my short tutorial if you want to
make it on your own. Once you make the first one, making more takes less than 15 minutes.
Materials: Felt, velcro tape, coordinating
embroidery thread, needle. handmade charm, scissors
Cut your felt to 6″x 4″ (16 cm x11 cm) -for a rectangular jewelry bag
Step 2: Fold the felt
lengthwise, to where there is ~1.5″ is left for the top part.
Step 3: Stitch each side
with hand. Keep the tension on the thread very loose for big stitch look.
part outwards less than 0.5″ and hand stitch the folded line horizontally.
Step 5: Place a felt
flower or a button in the middle of the top closure and hand stitch it securely
at the center of the top and bottom parts.
Add a bit of more cuteness with a handmade charm..
Step 7: Va laaa… Now, open inside and enjoy your cup
of sparkle…
TIP: You can use this bag as business card holder, lipstick
holder, or coin purse, or.. many other ways.
I love this little bag so much…and I really love that it is hand stitched (more my speed) Thanks for such a great tutorial!
Thank you for sharing my tutorial! I have been sending all my jewelry and keychains in these bags and my customers have been leaving so many good feedback. I am glad to share it with others.
Cheers,
