[Embroidery] Name tags made with bag strap tape

Name tag made with 100-yen store bag strap 🪡

Let’s make a name tag that’s perfect for attaching to your child’s bag! Use bag webbing, the kind used for bag handles.

First, cut the webbing to an appropriate length and sketch the letters you want to embroider with a chalk pen.

Next, secure it in an embroidery hoop and stitch along your sketch.

I recommend the satin stitch, which fills the area with no gaps.

When you’re done, apply glue to the back to reinforce it so the embroidery won’t unravel.

Then fold it in half to make a loop, attach the hardware, and secure it to finish.

It’s also fun to make matching ones for parent and child.

[Punch Needle] Chair Pad

[For Beginners] I tried making a chair pad with punch needle using an unexpected laundry net! Shockingly easy and super useful 😳💡

How about making a cute chair pad with a puffy raised design? We’ll use a method called punch needle, in which you embed yarn into the fabric to build up a picture.

For the base fabric, use a laundry net.

Sandwich the laundry net in something that can hold fabric in place, like an embroidery hoop, and start stitching.

You can easily create an image just by poking the needle in and out, so even people who aren’t good at crafts will find it approachable! Once the design is finished, apply glue to the back to keep the threads from unraveling.

Then simply trim away the excess base fabric and attach a seat cushion, and you’re done!

Popular in Korea, it’s made by knitting chunky yarn.

Basically, you create loops and keep threading the yarn through them to form the bag.

Be careful not to knit the bag’s opening too tightly, or it will be hard to put things in and take them out.
