Monday Funday: Create This Cute Peace Pouch
By: Candie Cooper (Check out more from Candie on her blog, Candie's Journal)
I'm crafting on the road this week, kids! We are filming a new season of Hands On Crafts for Kids so I brought some things to work on in the hotel after the shoot. This pouch is one of them. The clerk greeted me tonight and then looked down at my clear box of paint and said, "is that paint"?!?!? I said, "Maybe"! (with a really big grin) and cruised on up to my room.  This is a really easy project to create wherever you are! You'll need a canvas pouch, felt iron on transfer, sponge, your favorite colors of FOLKART FABRIC PAINT, and some scissors. Cut the sponge into a 1.25" square. It never hurts to put a piece of paper inside the pouch so it doesn't bleed through to the back. Lay down some newsprint (the last thing I wanted to do was to wreck the hotel desk), and put some paint on a plate.  Dip the sponge in paint and blot around until it is evenly covered. Stamp the paint in desired pattern on the canvas. Rinse the sponge each time you change colors. Once the pouch is dry, you can iron on the Peace patch. Position the patch where you want it and lay a pressing cloth on top---I used a bandanna. Set your iron to wool and press for 30 seconds (this will scorch your bandanna I found, LOL). 
Turn over and press again to make sure it's sealed. The package has directions for the iron on also.
And then you add a little chicken zipper pull for the lone reason of it-was-too-cute-to-leave-behind at Michael's craft store. He was only $1!
 One hour later (I used the hair dryer to speed up the paint drying time), you have the perfect little peace pouch. But, don't stop there! There are tons of cute iron ons in the fashion crafting section of your favorite craft store.
I can't help but sign off with, Peace, Love, and....a chickadee? Ok, let's just leave it at peace and love! That always makes me happy.
