simple diy monogrammed bag

I wanted to give my team mates at work a little something for the holidays. Nothing huge, just a small “hey thanks I appreciate all you’ve done for me” gift.

I decided to grab these adorable bags at TJ Maxx for them. But, I wanted to added something personalized to them.

I cut out twine into their first initials and hot glued it to the bag. I did slide a piece of cardboard into the bag just in case the hot glue ran through. It didn’t, but better safe than sorry.

After it dried I used cream-colored yarn and the largest sewing needle I had. I knotted the end of the yarn and simply hand sewed over the piece of twine. It was so simple.

I really loved the way they had turned out and wished I had made more of these for others!

It was an inexpensive, but meaningful and personalized gift. I’m happy to report that they both loved them!
