I'm so excited to officially begin my term with SRM. Today is my first post over on their blog.
I'm sharing with you this adorable (and useful) little burlap bag turned "Prayer Pouch" project. I loved sprucing up a plain burlap bag with the happy Vintage ribbon and stamps.
First, I sewed a strip of turquoise Vintage Floral Ribbon to the left side of the burlap bag (don't you love that contrast of the floral with the rough texture of the burlap?). Since I sewed right through both sides of the bag it created a narrow pocket, perfect for one or two of your favorite (LePen) pens.
I stamped "AMEN!" with the BIG Amen Faith Stamp Set directly onto the burlap.
Inside the right side of the pouch, I've inserted some prayer cards. I can use these to write out my prayers or as reminders of prayer requests. I stamped sentiments and stitches using the BIG Amen set and the BIG Trinity Set as well as the arrow stitch from the Lord is My Light set onto cardstock to coordinate with the ribbon colors. Even with the BIG stamps, there is plenty of space to write my prayers and notes.
To keep the cards together I grabbed a large paper clip and looped a bit of the ribbon onto one end. It just adds another fun element to this cute prayer pouch.
The pouch is great for on-the-go and can be tucked in your purse or Bible bag. You could also easily hang this next to your bed for those late-night thoughts of prayer requests and needs - write them down so your brain can rest for the night and then hit your knees in the morning to bring them before the Lord!
For this project I used:
5x7 Burlap Bag | Turquoise Vintage Floral Ribbon | cardstock | BIG Amen Stamp Set | The Lord is My Light Stamp Set | BIG Trinity Stamp Set | Le Pen 4 Piece Set - Dark
