I'm Lucky!

I like a challenge, but I also LOVE freedom to create my way.

It's the best of both worlds with The Twinery's new challenge!

Many of you out there probably have more than enough chevron products to help you in this challenge...but for those of you who don't, I thought I would share a quick idea for making your own chevron pattern.

{This is not just for use on cotton bags - you can easily do this technique on cardstock.}

By taking an ink pad and a small acrylic block, all you need to do is stamp in a zig zag pattern and you've got yourself a simple chevron. 

After I stamped my chevron pattern I added a stamp (that I helped design for Unity Stamp Company) in a darker green.

Oh...what's that?!?

It's the FABULOUS new Natural twine (available soon!) from The Twinery. I love this twine au naturel, but I also just couldn't wait to spray it with some mist!

I threaded one of the strands through the drawstring tunnel on the top of my bag and added the other strands  (including some Honeydew twine) to create the finished bow.

{You can see my simple trick to changing out the drawstring that comes with the bag and replacing it with twine HERE.}
