I used some canvas bags I purchased at Wal-mart, 3/$5, not a bad price. For the first one I wanted to use the recyle symbol, so I cut arrows out of the muslin and folded them before stamping on them. Then I cut some brown fabric to outline the arrows to make them stand out from the canvas bag. I stamped the flowers from Beautiful Blooms in various shades of PTI ink before sewing the two arrows together. Then I glued them onto the bag with Fabri-Tac (best fabric glue EVER!). After gluing the arrows I stamped the words around the triangle and added the flowers for balance.
For the second one, I cut flowers using my Cuttlebug with the Flower Dies and stamped flowers from Beautiful Blooms in PTI ink. I glued the brown rick-rack with Fabri-tac again, then sewed the buttons and flowers onto the bag. Easy-peasy!
Going green can be easy and fashionable!
Hope you enjoyed seeing more of my bag creations!
See you soon!

I bought bags from the store I was shopping in; of course, they have the logo in a huge square on the bag. I would love to cover that up at some point (especially since I'm now saving some money at the store by using them!)
I like what you've done here... Perhaps I can just cover the space with a square of something and then put those great flowers on them?!
I love how you've decorated these pretty bags! It seems I'm always taking lots of 'stuff' with me where ever I go and I always use bags like this to carry it all - great ideas!
These are so pretty! You make recycling fashionable!
Oh wow those bags are gorgeous! Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog too :)
