mermaids and pirates

Ashley's friend is having a birthday party with a mermaids and pirates theme in a couple of months so we made up these little bags to see whether she would like to use them as lolly bags. They were sewn up with some cotton canvas and a little drawstring looped through the top. The fabrics were ironed on with heat'n'bond, an iron-on adhesive, and the little pirate face was hand sewn with some embroidery thread. Super quick and easy!

....and I couldn't resist these beauties from our local fruit shop!

The little bags are so sweet.
We have a birthday party in our house next weekend. I won't be doing anything near as industrious or creative.

I think little bags like that are such a good idea - much better than the plastic type.
