I've started a bag and its taking me forever. I am doing this red hibiscus flower and after three nights I finished one petal. I'll try to post pics later. I've been trying to do a back stitch and loop through the last bead to keep it looking seemless...otherwise it kept looking messy.

Ok, I finished my first bag and then switched to an easy flower where I am just outlining it. Now I can do one bag every two nights of watching tv. Maybe after the writer's strike is over I can do one bag per night. :)

 

Here is the first one that took forever:

Then the new design:

Oh and as you can see the outline of the iron transfer, you really don't have to use the iron too long otherwise the backing turns kinda brown on the bag. My newer ones turned out much better.

THOSE LOOK FANTASTIC......okay yes the first couple will take you forever but once you have the process down you will fly through the rest of them. I love the design you did too...very simple but so fun!! Great job!

I love this idea. I have a lot of time before my wedding so I have to get on this now so I am not stressed. This is the best idea I have seen yet. I am so excited I am actually going to order my bags right now. I really wanted jute bags because I thought they would look more expensive than they really are, but this idea looks like you spend a million dollars. CONGRATS!!
