OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG!!! Okay, Okay, Okay...so, can you tell I'm excited about this delicious zipper bag? Years ago I saw someone selling these handy bags at a local fair. I wondered how in the world did they do it?! I found instructions and set out to accomplish the task. Halloween is approaching so this candy zipper bag seems very appropriate :))
Supplies needed:
2 candy bags
7-9" zipper
Iron on Vinyl
iron
liner fabric
sewing machine
I do need to confess I broke 4 sewing machine needles making this tiny itty bitty bag. It has been YEARS since I attempted to sew anything other than paper. It took me awhile to figure out the settings on my machine, thread the bobbin, etc. And, I don't think I have sewed a zipper on since high school. Needless to say I am grateful I had a stash of extra machine needles laying around.
The next time I make this candy bag, yes, there will most certainly be a next time, I will use the bigger bags of candy. I found the personal size bag to be too small for my inexperienced hands. I am collecting candy wrappers & candy bags to give this crafty project another try! I hope to be a pro at them before I am over it and moving on to my next obsession.
The bag does end up looking wrinkly after all the sewing and pulling inside out. But, the vinyl protects the bag from getting torn. Total cuteness!!
