These fun bags hang on the back of the kids' chair on Valentine's Day at breakfast filled with goodies from Mom and Dad (usually a book and a few little chocolates).
Ever since last summer when I saw these cute bags on Jon and Kate Plus 8 (have you seen that show?) I thought they were adorable and wanted to add that fun tradition to our family Valentine's Day! They were from Pottery Barn Kids and these mail bags can no longer be purchased. I've seen a few sell on eBay for way too much! Like myself, people are going crazy for these things!
After seeing these cute bags made by Heather Bailey, I almost couldn't wait to start my project!
My plan is to have the kids names monogrammed on these.
Cole's is the one without the cute ruffles.
The cute little buttons on the back are my favorite!
Polka dots on the inside.
Aren't these fun? You must make some! For these I embellished the pattern that I used for the Halloween Candy Bags. I added a 3 inch side and bottom piece to make them look a little more square, a flap on top to close the bag, a little peek a boo heart and backpack straps with buttons. But you wouldn't even have to do all that! The pattern would work as is! And it is such a cinch!
I don't know what it is that I love so much about Valentine's Day! Maybe it's because I love all the pink and red colors I get to put up around my house! ;) For the pdf pattern, try this tutorial link or you can email me at ourscoop@gmail.com for the pdf instructions.
