First, I
roughly determined how big my bag should be and then I drew some wings on a
piece of paper. When they were to my liking, I transferred the shape on the
organza. Just put you fabric on top of your drawing and follow your own lines.
I made my wings with two separate wings, but you can do it just how it suits
you best. When the line is on your fabric, just fold the fabric so that you end
up with a double wing. Trace the lines with your sewing machine. Then cut out
your wings, leaving a small trim. On the left you see the lines on my fabric,
on the right the lines have already been sewed.
Now just
cut two rectangle shapes at the size you want your bag to be and fold over one
edge, leaving a hole for a ribbon later on (this will be the top of your bag).
Pin your wings to the half of the bag. I had to fold them a little so that I
wouldn’t accidentally sew them on the bag at the wrong places.
Put the other rectangle on the wings and sew the bag. When you
turn it inside out and add a ribbon, you end up with this.
Now, just
cut a round angel face with a small neck and some shoulders in order to hold
the head in the bag. I’m going to let my little girl draw the angel face so
that it’s a joint effort. I’m also going to add a small card with stars
(colored by my girl) on one side and a text on the other side saying:
Dear teacher, enjoy your holidays and next year
I’ll be an angel in your class once again!
*Happy
holidays!*
ps. I think these will make a great give away bag for a fairy party as well..... :)
