DIY Christmas Decor With Really Reasonable Ribbon

Hello Really Reasonable Ribbon fans!  Today I'm  sharing a canvas bag hanger.  I've dressed up the little coin envelope with Cherry Baker's Twine.  I love the assortment of Baker's twine at Really Reasonable Ribbon!


I started with 2 pieces of 7"x 9" canvas.  Leaving the top open, sew the sides and bottom.  Tea stain the bag and lay it on a towel. 
 While the bag is still wet, sprinkle on a bit of ground cinnamon.  Mist with Glimmer Mist.


Using a paint brush, brush the cinnamon in.
Using Ribbon Adhesive, adhere vintage lace at the top.

I bought a red dog collar with bells at the dollar store.  For an aged look, soak the collar in salt water for several days.

Hot glue a 2"x7" piece of weathered wood to the top of the canvas bag.

Add vintage images and a small coin envelope wrapped in Cherry Baker's Twine.

Hot glue the metal sleigh in place.  Add some mini Christmas ornaments.

How very pretty, Jan! I really love how you aged the canvas. Never would have thought of using cinnamon. And how clever to use that dog collar for the handle. Gorgeous collection of vintage goodies, too. :)
