Chevron & Green {The Twinery}

I like a challenge, but I also LOVE freedom to create my way.

It's the best of both worlds with The Twinery's new challenge! 

You get a simple theme to get you started and then have the freedom to create whatever you want within that theme.

Here's the current theme:

Many of you out there probably have more than enough chevron products to help you in this challenge...but for those of you who don't, I thought I would share a quick idea for making your own chevron pattern.
{This is not just for use on cotton bags - you can easily do this technique on cardstock.}

By taking an ink pad and a small acrylic block, all you need to do is stamp in a zig zag pattern and you've got yourself a simple chevron. 

After I stamped my chevron pattern I added a stamp (that I helped design for Unity Stamp Company) in a darker green.

Oh...what's that?!?

It's the FABULOUS new Natural twine (available soon!) from The Twinery. I love this twine au naturel, but I also just couldn't wait to spray it with some mist!

I threaded one of the strands through the drawstring tunnel on the top of my bag and added the other strands  (including some Honeydew twine) to create the finished bow.

{You can see my simple trick to changing out the drawstring that comes with the bag and replacing it with twine HERE.}
