OK, my bad…I never posted the little bag I gave these necklaces in…ugh, pregnancy brain is at it again! Hopefully, I will have my fully functioning brain back in a few months…wish me luck on that one.
Here is the cute little bag I made:
Pretty in Pink!
It was a pretty last minute sewing project, like say I did it the hour before we gave the gift! Noah was all 3-year-old-stubborn on being the one to give this particular gift and at what seemed like the last minute I thought to myself, ‘I can just see him dropping the necklace and breaking those pendants to oblivion’…so I came up with this darling little bag.
It’s the perfect size to hold a sweet little necklace or even a ring!
It reminds me of the little blue bag I have from my one and only piece of jewelry from Tiffany’s which I adore…Thank You hubby!
Here is how to make a few of your own…a super easy project, it’ll take you less than 15 minutes to make them I swear!
Tiffany-Inspired Jewelry Bag
3 x 7 inch piece of felt
1 inch piece of velcro
coordinating thread
sewing machine
**You could also use no-sew velcro or even hot glue to place the velcro on the flap portion so you don’t see any stitch lines…I only had sew-on velcro in my hutch!
Cut your felt to 3 x 7 inches and then get yourself a 1-inch piece of velcro.
Center the soft-side of your velcro to the top portion of the felt, like the picture above.
Then, flip the felt over and place the rough-side of your velcro at the center top portion. So, basically the two pieces of velcro are on opposite sides and opposite ends of the felt.
Then, bring up the felt, lengthwise, to where it is folded over about 2 inches or so and sew each side in place.
To make it look extra cute, snip the edges of the flap slightly like the picture above.
Super Fancy!!
Then, just open up that pretty little bag and see what’s inside…
Sometimes the best things come in little packages

Super cute!
Oh what a great DIY project. You are one clever and crafty girl.
I just finished a project that took 23 years to complete.
Come take a peek.
Fabulous! Totally Love it. I love handmade projects whether its crafts, food, and anything else!

ooh too cute! A button would work, too, n’est pas? since I’m afraid I don’t have velcro. I need to make these. Thank you.
Maggie, these are EXACTLY what I need to give my Mirrored Garden Streamers as gifts. I was thinking a small drawstring, but that wouldn’t protect the little mirrors the way this would. Thank you, thank you!
Have a lovely weekend — it’s so beautiful here in Massachusetts today, and I can hardly wait to get home from work this afternoon….

P.S. We are on Totally Tutorials together this week — or come see my blog to see the streamers I’m talking about. Not a child-friendly craft to make, but kids love to ran along the grass after the little rainbows and sparkles made by the mirrors!
