DIY Halloween Treat Bags!

Are you having a Halloween Party this year and want to have the coolest treat bags ever? Well you're in luck because we have a DIY just for you!

Supplies:
1) Stencil
2) Stencil Brush
3) Jacquard Textile Paint
4) Tape
5) Muslin Bag
6) Piece of Cardboard that fits in your bag


First, secure your stencil to your bag. This can be done with washi tape or repositionable spray mount if you have a more complicated stencil. Then put a piece of cardboard or thick paper in the bag to avoid the paint getting on the back of your bag.


When stenciling it's important to not have gobs of paint on your brush. After you dip your brush in paint, take off excess by dabbing a piece of paper towel. If you have too much paint on your brush it can seep under the stencil and make your print messy!


With a dabbing motion, start filling in your stencil. Don't sweep the brush from side to side, this can also cause the paint to go where you don't want it to.


After the paint has dried. iron the bag to heat set the paint.

If you love the bags, but aren't feeling crafty we sell them pre-stenciled for $3 each. They are currently stocked at Division and will be in the other stores soon!

See you soon!

DIY Pixel Heart Cross Stitch



When it comes to Pixel Art, cross stitch is a perfect medium. To make cross stitch pieces it is easiest to use aida fabric. This special fabric is divided into little squares (like graph paper). It lends itself well to the little X stitched used in cross stitch! Read on to find out how to make this sweet heart piece.


Supplies:
 Embroidery Hoop
 Embroidery Floss
 Needle
 Aida Material
 Pattern (provided below) and Graph Paper
 Felt & Glue (for backing)




1: Draw pattern on graph paper (the second pattern is for that last heart that is only partially filled in!)


2: Take two strands of your black embroidery floss and thread your needle. Use a maximum of 18" of thread to avoid knots. Don't know how to separate your thread? Watch this video.

3: Place the cloth in your embroidery hoop and tighten screw.

4: Start stitching using the knotless loop method.

5: Stitch all the black squares in the pattern using the X stitch (illustrated below, click image for more information)


6: Upon finishing a color or thread, loop your needle through the back of the three previous stitches to secure the end of the thread.

6. Continue stitching the pattern with the remaining colors.

7: When your pattern is finished trim the edges of the aida cloth and tightly glue the edges of the cloth to the hoop. You can use hot glue or wet glue (like Crafter's Pick).

Happy stitching!

xoxo
