Hey guys! You saw my silhouette pumpkins… now I am so excited to share…
Silhouette Trick or Treat Bags!!
Today we are going to show you how to make a truly one-of-a kind silhouette trick or treat bag for your little one! I love that you will have a precious keepsake long past the holidays with this one!
Let’s get started…
Supplies
- an 8.5 x 11 picture of your child looking straight on in front of a white background
- an 8.5 x 11 piece of Heat n’ Bond fusible paper
- an 8.5 x 11 piece of black fabric
- white canvas tote bag
- embellishments: ribbon, flowers, rhinestones, etc.
- iron, glue stick, and hot glue gun, and scissors
Step One. You will first need to iron the Heat n’ Bond to the black fabric according to the package directions. Then, you will use your glue stick to attach the photo to the top of the Heat n’ Bond. Once it dries, you will simply cut along the silhouette of the picture.
Step Two. Now you will peel the paper and fusible paper off and you should have only the fabric layer. Flip it over and you have a beautiful silhouette. Keep in mind that if your child is looking in one direction for the photo, the final product will have them facing the opposite way!
Step Three. Here is where the magic begins… take your plain tote bag and iron your silhouette on to the front . Now, add all of the embellishments your little heart desires! I hot glued the flower and ponytail ribbon! So easy and so fun!
I just love how it turned out!
Silhouettes are so classic and this one is something you can keep forever! This would also make for a fabulous no-sew pillow in the years to come! Nothing like a craft that can stand the test of time!
Enjoy!

Apologies if I am leaving a double comment, my last comment didn’t seem to take. LOL (Could definitely be me, only on first cup of tea this morning!) I love how this turned out – it is such a sweet project – a memory in the making that will become more treasured as the years go by. The ribbon and flower are the icing on the cake!

Super cute! I love that you made your own silhouette! I have a witch silhouette cut out on my piano, but I just found a sil. and a witch hat on the internet and welded them together before cutting with my machine
Personalized is better!

Thanks so much Crystal!!!
Trish this is so cute, I tried using heat and bond one time on a t-shirt and the first time I washed it, everything fell off. Any suggestions!
I hope you come link it up on I Freakin’ Did it Friday http://bit.ly/RN9vwo

Hey Kelly! I use the heat’n bond ultra and haven’t had any trouble. I usually try to wash on a cold setting. This has worked fine for me with the ultra. Another brand that I had used in the past was horrible! Hope this helps!
Take care,
Trish
