Are you all sick of so many Valentine's projects yet? I think you can kinda tell that we love Valentine's! For me, it's an excuse to decorate a little more girly. In my boy house, it's sport teams, footballs, jerseys, trucks, toy guns, and Star Wars. So, I love anything pink, red, frilly, or feminine.
These "love sacks" are influenced by staring at tons of blogs. A little bit of this and a little bit of that. Nicole told me not to name them "love sacks" because people might think it's derogatory! :) I'm not sure what else to call them? I wonder what people we might pick up off of Google's search looking for a "love sack"?
These were so easy to make! I first found a font and I didn't even print it off. You know, computers make great light boxes. I held my freezer paper up to the computer screen and penciled it right on. It saves some ink. I then used an exacto knife to cut the freezer paper out carefully.
Iron the freezer paper onto the fabric.
Most people have stenciled the paint on, but I prefer spray paint. It sprays on so evenly!
Just make sure you cut your freezer paper wide enough to cover the fabric.
Look at that! So cool!
I sewed the two pieces of burlap together and stuffed with fiberfil, then finished the sack off with twine.
I swear we have some other projects besides Valentine's stuff coming really soon! :)

I LOVE these! Too cute and very creative.
Very, very cute. I actually have some little burlap bags I saved from Christmas gifts that I held onto knowing I'd find SOMETHING to do with them. Thanks for the inspiration!
I came here from Funky Junk and originally clicked on your post from there but when I saw these, it stopped me in my tracks. I love them so much. Want. Them. Now! =)
Simple & wonderful! But where did you find this font?
Have a lovely day!

These are so pretty, i love this idea! I just clicked over from 4 Crazy Kings and I'm so glad I did. I would love to link to this if you didn't mind.
love sack! hahah
You know I have had more fun this year decorating for Valentine's day...I love the projects and no I don't get tired of them. I look forward...in a way...to packing all the projects up this time...to look forward to unpacking it all next Valentines day. Does that sound stupid. I love this little holiday and enjoy crafting things (cute things like your little sacks) for it. Have a great day.

This looks so great! Clever of you to come up with that idea!! And such cute fonts used!
You are brilliant - I love every part of this, the freezer paper, the spray paint, the burlap bags... completely adorable!
I might have to do something like this for Spring, it will be spring at some point right???
These are adorable! I adore burlap, and this is just a cute project. I did something like this with the word soap, I gave some goat soap with lavender scent in a burlap sack like this! Love to be creative with burlap!
