Creating packages is one of my passions, so making these using old books and a monochromatic theme was very exciting for me. I wanted to make something romantic and simple, so I decided to create small bags to put sachets or aroma leaves inside. Here is my tutorial on how to create these:

MONOCHROMATIC ROMANTIC BAGS

Directions:

  1. Take and book and cut some pages from this. I decided to buy a book in a dollar store to use for my projects. Select the colors of ink that you want to use, one brayer and the die cut to cut the bag. MONOCHROMATIC ROMANTIC BAGS
  2. Ink the brayer with the color of Memento Ink that you want to use and apply the ink in each page. I used three different colors of ink to follow the monochromatic theme. I used Lulu Lavender, Lilac Posies and Grape Jelly. Wash your brayer between each application of color ink. Don’t worry about your brayer – Memento Ink is easily washed with water. MONOCHROMATIC ROMANTIC BAGS

My apologies but I just noticed that when I took the photo, I accidentally placed the wrong ink box next to it. I used Lulu Lavender  for that package.

  1. Using each inked sheet, cut the die cut of the Mini Thread Bag and assemble it. MONOCHROMATIC ROMANTIC BAGS
  2. Put the content inside of the bags, fold the open border and tie with a purple thick twine. MONOCHROMATIC ROMANTIC BAGS
  3. To decorate the package of bags I created a flower using circle scallops that I cut from a page of the book. I cut 8 scallops and then secured all of these on the center with a purple metal brad. I then folded each of these to the center with my hands. MONOCHROMATIC ROMANTIC BAGS
  4. When the flower was created, I sprayed it with Grape Jelly and Lilac Posies Fireworks to give color and then pasted it over the bags using a dimensional. MONOCHROMATIC ROMANTIC BAGS
