<p>I’ve seen some adorable bags with cute chenille letters all over Instagram and Pinterest lately. I thought my girls (age 5 and age 2) would love them! When I started to shop for them, I found out they’re much too pricey for my budget and really not worth it in my opinion.  </p>

<p>When I looked a little closer I got an idea to try to make them myself. I ordered <a href="https://amzn.to/2MRLo7V">cute duffles from Amazon </a>and found an Etsy shop that sold the <a href="https://etsy.me/3a3gMdt">chenille letters</a>. Once the letters arrived, I got to work! They were so simple. Here’s the breakdown of what you’ll need:</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center"><a href="https://amzn.to/2MRLo7V">Duffle</a>/makeup bag/tote of your choice</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center"><a href="https://etsy.me/3a3gMdt">Chenille letters</a> (allow one month for them to arrive from the uk)</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center"><a href="https://amzn.to/35NVHR1">Glitter card stock</a></p>



<p class="has-text-align-center"><a href="https://amzn.to/38OHogV">Hot glue gun</a></p>



<p class="has-text-align-center"><a href="https://amzn.to/3ioAMJp">Fabric hot glue sticks</a></p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" data-id="8846" src="https://i0.wp.com/shebloomscreative.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/img_6011.jpg?w=1290&#038;ssl=1" alt="" class="wp-image-8846"/></figure>

</figure>



<p>Directions:</p>



<p>1. Choose the card stock and letter combo, glue letters to card stock allowing plenty of space on all sides. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" src="https://i0.wp.com/shebloomscreative.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/img_6003.jpg?w=1290&#038;ssl=1" alt="" class="wp-image-8842"/></figure>



<p>2. Carefully cut card stock  approximately 1/8 inch around each letter.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" src="https://i0.wp.com/shebloomscreative.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/img_6006.jpg?w=1290&#038;ssl=1" alt="" class="wp-image-8841"/></figure>



<p>3. Apply fabric hot glue to the back of letters and quickly glue them to the bag. <em>(Tip: fabric hot glue sets quicker than traditional hot glue. There is very little option to move the letter around once you stick it on.)</em></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" src="https://i0.wp.com/shebloomscreative.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/img_6079.jpg?w=1290&#038;ssl=1" alt="" class="wp-image-8843"/></figure>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" width="1290" height="1720" src="https://i0.wp.com/shebloomscreative.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/img_6078-scaled.jpg?resize=1290%2C1720&#038;ssl=1" alt="" class="wp-image-8840"/></figure>



<p>4. Let glue cool and inspect the letters. Add glue where needed! </p>

</div>



<p><em>Update: I linked the letters I used above, but I recently found this <a href="https://etsy.me/351CWtg">iron-on option</a> too! (I cannot verify the quality)</em></p>

<p>Every year since Clark was born, almost 9 years ago, we have created something special as a family to record all the things we’re thankful for that year. </p>



<p>We’ve done “thankful trees”, “thankful pumpkins”, paper chains, etc. No matter what the craft, it’s always a special memory. While you’re here on the blog, check out <a href="http://shebloomscreative.com/our-thankful-tree">our thankful tree</a> from last year. I loved it and it was so easy and inexpensive.</p>

<p>This year we kept it simple, like everything else! Lol. I bought this beautiful set of wood beads and we wrote out all of our blessings to display. I love the way it turned out! </p>



<p>I’m linking the beads I ordered here incase you want to do it with your family! </p>
