How to Make an Organza Candy Bag
Organza is a gauzy fabric with highlights that catch the light, making it a dainty and pretty choice for gift giving. Candy (lolly, sweet) bags made from organza are ideal for dinner party table treats, fairy parties, holidays season events and more.
Steps
-
Assemble the items needed. These are listed below under "Things You'll Need".
-
Place the right sides of the fabric together.
-
Allow for a 1.5 centimeter (0.6 in) seam. Sew along one 13 centimeter (5.1 in) edge and two 14.5 centimeter (5.7 in) edges.
-
Turn the right side out. You should have a bag shape.
-
Create a hem at the top. Simply fold down and stitch a 1.5 centimeter (0.6 in) double hem at the open end.
-
Punch an eyelet at two evenly spaced intervals in the open end.
-
Thread the ribbon, raffia, twine or cord through the eyelets. Tie knots at each end to prevent the cord from wriggling out again.
-
Fill with candies. Tie into a neat bow and the bag is ready for a treat or gift.
Tips
- Instead of adding eyelets, simply tie the cord, twine, ribbon or raffia around after filling with candies, then tie in a firm bow.
- For adding eyelets, follow the instructions accompanying the punch.
Warnings
- If adding eyelets, be careful to punch the hole cleanly, otherwise the fabric may tear.
