Customize a Pouch with Ribbon
There are so many choices available when it comes to both peel and stick patches and zippered pouches that the possibilities are endless. Remove the tag from the pouch with scissors. Flod the clear backing in half, exposing the adhesive.
Apply the sticky part of the letter patches to the bottom of the zippered pouch, lining the edges up so that the letters are straight.
Carefully peel the remaining clear plastic backing from the letter patches. Push down firmly on each letter so the adhesive sticks to the canvas pouch.
Lay out the assorted ribbons and trims, and dry-fit them to the top portion of the canvas pouch. Mixing and matching the trims and lace to the patch colors gives it a boho feel.
Using E6000 Fabri-Fuse liquid fabric glue, attach the pink mini ball fringe in a straight line just above the top of the letter patches. Trim the ends with scissors and apply more glue to prevent the edges from fraying.
For the ribbon, trim to slightly larger than the width of the pouch, then turn over the cut edges and secure with Fabri-Fuse to prevent fraying.
Using E6000 Fabri-Fuse liquid fabric glue, attach the orange and white gingham ribbon in a straight line just above the top of the ball fringe. E6000 Fabri-fuse liquid fabric glue is extremely flexible, has stretch, won’t create bumps or bulges, and allows the felt to remain pliable, even after washing.
Attach the light yellow rick rack just above the orange gingham ribbon with E6000 Fabri-Fuse liquid fabric glue. Glue the cut ends to prevent fraying.
Repeat by attaching the blue lace with Fabri-Fuse liquid fabric glue just above the yellow rick rack. Set aside to allow the glue to dry completely.
