Grab a stack of lunch bags and create a festive luminary path for your next summer evening get-together with the Fiskars Eyelet Setter Set. I was delighted with how simple this tool is to use and how fun the resulting projects would be! Fill this simple punched bag with a lighted jar candle and line your driveway or garden path with sparkly, candlelit craftiness. If you want to include the kids in the creative process, make some extras and let them decorate bags filled with goodies for your guests.

Required supplies:

  • Eyelet Setters 3-Piece Set
  • Tape Runner
  • Twinkle Twinkle - Extra Large
  • 12 x 18 Cutting Mat
  • 12 inch/30 cm Portable Trimmer
  • ShapeTemplate™ Tool - Shapes-1 w/Asst. Borders
  • Threading Water border punch
  • Cloud 9 "Max's backyard" papers
  • Cloud 9 rain dots
  • other- fabric scrap, paper lunch bag

Instructions

1. Flatten a lunch bag on a craft mat, use the shape cutting template to mark the shape of the star. Remove template, punch holes along the star shape using the 1/8-inch hole eyelet punch. Place a lighted jar candle inside.


2. To create gift bag, cut patterned paper to 5” X 7” and adhere inside the bag so that the color shows through the punched holes. Embellish with Rain Dots and punched stars. Fill bag with goodies.


3. For a closed bag, cut a 4 ˝” X 4” piece of patterned paper. Create a border on each long side and fold in half. Fold the top of the bag over, place folded patterned paper over the fold and punch two holes 1 ˝” apart with the 3/16-inch eyelet punch. Thread fabric through the holes, embellish with Rain Dots.
