Burlap wine bags

They isn't anything I enjoy more than helping people. A very dear friend and her family have a Luau every year to help raise money for Pancreatic Cancer. Donations came from all over town and are put into silent  or Chinese auction. My hunny and I love to help out and donate. This year, I made many sets of handmade cards and put them into a basket with a couple bottles of wine and some fancy pens.

I had to make something to cover the bottles, to make them look pretty. I just happen to have a roll of burlap laying around and since the wire basket is burlap lined, I thought that would work out fine. 

I cut a strip that was 32 inches long. (The roll is 5 1/2 inches wide.)

I stitched the raw ends to keep them from fraying. 

Then I folded the piece in half and stitched down both sides. Bag done!

Now to dress it up. I took a strip of canvas fabric about 1 1/2 inches wide and 14 inches long.

 I did a gathering stitch. 

Gathered it to form a flower shape. 

I left the edges raw to give it an unfinished look. 

Using a hot glue gun, I sealed the center and covered it with a circle of faux leather and a button, 

Attaching it to a braid of twine. Then tied it abound the bottle. 

Basket complete! Quick and easy!

Put a little homespun n comfort in your day!
