Step 3: Finishing Up
After Both Motifs are made:
First: weave red ribbon around the perimeter of both motifs and sew the two ends of the ribbon together and make sure to hide the seams.
Second: Line up two motif’s corners together and whipstitch around the side bottom and side. Leave the top open. What should be left is a flap that is then folded over. I then attached a magnetic button to the underside of the flap and the first motif.
Straps:
First: Cut 9 2 yard strips of yarn and tie a knot at one end and then braid the 9 strands of yarn together and tie another knot at the other end. The finished braid should measure 33 inches for a 4T toddler. To adjust to fit a larger child, just make a longer braid.
Second: Take the braid and find the middle and sew the middle of the strap to the top middle of the envelope.
Third: Sew the two ends of the strap down to the bottom corners of the bag.
*Optional: Sew on Red accents of flowers or bows to the front of the envelope’s flap.
Enjoy and...
Happy Valentine’s Day!
