Design Tips
- Watch my video and/or refer to your PDF instructions for folding and assembling the rosette. It's easier than it looks!
- Double-sided tape works best for assembling the rosette but if you want to use glue, you can hold it closed with clothespins while it dries completely.
- Black ink on the edges of most of the shapes looks fantastic!
- A dark color behind the moon looks eerily perfect and a 3D dot behind the bats adds nice dimension. If it's too large, cut it in half.
- You probably SHOULD glue the bottom closed so that any goodies you put inside don't push open the bottom.
I hope you have fun with this project and enjoy giving someone goodies in this adorable bag! ~Mary 🙂
