Pebbles Inc. Fun In The Sun Summer Gift Bags

This is a personal blog. All editorial content and projects are intellectual property of Snippets of Mendi. I receive financial compensation and material product from American Crafts to develop my craft posts, but all ideas and opinions are my own.

Today I have some fun ideas for summer gift bags using Pebbles Fun In the Sun collection along with the new Fuse tool and Gift Bag Punch Board by We R Memory Keepers.  I don't know about you, but I rarely think to prepare a fun gift bag on the actual day of an event so I love having some ready to go when I'm headed out the door to a special occasion.

I thought it would be fun to experiment with different shaped shaker windows using various nesting dies.  For my first bag I wanted to mimic the look of the citrus slices found in the patterned paper.  To achieve this I added all my sequins to the circle shape before closing it up.  I then carefully slid the sequins over a little bit each time to fuse the straight lines.

My next bag features a star window filled with multi-colored sequins.  I cut an extra band of patterned paper to go along the top of my bag which I punched with a scalloped edge using a border punch.

My last gift bag is my favorite.  It uses some of the fun watermelon patterned papers from the collection so I thought it would be really fun to create a heart window and punch out little hearts and raindrops to pose as watermelon seeds for my shaker.

Make sure to head over the the Pebbles Blog where I share step-by-step instructions on how I created these fun shaped window shakers with the fuse tool and some basic supplies I already had on hand.  Thanks so much for stopping by.  :)
