Here's what you need to make No-Sew Valentine Gift Bags:

Here's how to create Faux Cross Stitch with Gingham Fabric:

STEP ONE

To begin Faux Cross Stitched Valentine's Gift Bags, gather all materials. Measure and cut rectangles of gingham fabric with pinking shears.  I wanted my heart to be located in the center, so I created rectangles that are 11 squares wide by 36 squares long.  The dimensions carry through no matter what size gingham fabric you are using. To create custom designs use graph paper to chart the pattern. Pinking shears create a zig-zag cut pattern that prevents the fabric from fraying and provides a decorative edge.

STEP TWO

Run a line of Tombow MONO Multi Liquid Glue down the long edges, fold the gingham fabric in half and then tap the seams gently to adhere. Working on top of a non-stick craft sheet will prevent gingham fabric from sticking to your work surface. Set aside to dry.

STEP THREE

Once dry, insert a small piece of paper inside the gingham fabric bag. Starting with the bottom center square, draw X's in the squares with Tulip Slick Dimensional Fabric Paint to create a heart pattern. True Red on black gingham and Black on red gingham for a fun contrast. Use the photo below as a guide.  Set aside to dry.

STEP FOUR

With the Tulip Dimensional Fabric Paint in True Red and Black create dashed lines along both edges of each gingham fabric bag to look like stitches.  Draw X's and O's across the top of the heart to finish. Set all three gingham bags aside to dry.

STEP FIVE

Fill the Faux Cross Stitched Valentine's Gift Bags with your favorite goodies, sweets, and small treats. I like to place candy in a plastic zipper bag first to retain freshness. Measure and cut a 20″ length of skinny ribbon. Thread ribbon through the holes of a jumbo button, gather the top of the gingham fabric bag, and then tie the ribbon in a bow for a bit of whimsy!
