Indiana Jones Party - Satchels

As I mentioned a few days ago, I'm in the midst of planning an Indiana Jones Party for my now 7 year old.

I've been inspired by many blogs I've found...see the list at the bottom of this post.
One such blog, Em-agination, gave a great tutorial on how to make some easy felt satchels for the guests to carry their clues and such around in.
I added cording for the strap (I think she used more felt...doing it over, I'd probably just cut out more felt and sew it on as a strap, too.)

To make keeping up with their satchels just a little easier, I came up with a label for each guest.  Using a graphic from Graphics Fairy, I used various fonts to create a label.  I then printed the labels on fabric.  (How do you print on fabric?  Go here.)

After personalizing (I did leave a few blank for those last minute RSVPs...I'll just fill those in with a sharpie...) and printing out the labels, I simply cut them out and sewed them on to the flap of the satchel.

Pretty cool, huh?!?!?
Oh, and did I mention super easy and quick???
If you'd like to use my labels for your own party, click here.


Inspiration for these satchels and all other Indiana Jones Party ideas were found at the following sites:

If you have an Indiana Jones Party post that is not listed above...let me know!  I'd love to add it to the list to share with others!

Valentine Angels Pillow

As you could see from my Tuesday To-Do post, I was really wanting to make a pillow.
Since we are frozen in here, I couldn't just run down to the fabric store to get some felt so I had to make due with supplies I had on hand. (Left over fabric, freezer paper, ribbon and a printer.)

This adorable graphic was found at Old Pixels.  I uploaded it to Photoshop and added our initial.
Then I ironed the paper and freezer paper together.  Using a piece of 8.5" x 11.5" cardstock as my guide, I cut the fabric/freezer paper to fit the printer.  It was amazing out beautifully it worked!
***NEW***

I then made a simple ruffle with my ribbon & sewed it all together.  (I just love a little leopard!!!)
Anyway, if you haven't tried the whole freezer paper idea...do!  Its so fun!


Smiles!
