Canvas Bag
How to Make
1. Lay your bag across a flat surface.
TIP: Iron your bag so that it is easier to apply your Dovecraft ribbon strips.
2. Add a length of Dovecraft Perma Fix tape across the top of your bag and slowly peel the red plastic off.
3. Cut a length of your chosen Dovecraft ribbon design and carefully apply it on top of the Perma Fix tape. Press down on the ribbon to ensure your strip has been stuck down securely.
4. For our design, we have left approximately a 1cm gap between each strip, but it is totally up to you how you add the ribbon!
5. Repeat this technique using the pretty range of Dovecraft ribbons until you are happy with your design.
6. Maxine has covered a section of the bag but if you wanted to achieve a different look, you could cover the entire bag with lovely Dovecraft ribbons!
