- Small Piece of Vinyl Fabric
- Velcro
- Fabric Glue
First start out by cutting your cotton fabric into a small rectangle. For the size snack bag we made, I cut the fabric into a 9 inch by 6 inch rectangle.
Next you are going to cut your vinyl fabric into a rectangle. I cut the vinyl approximately 2 centimetres small both length and width wise for gluing. Its up to you on the exact size. The only thing you want to make sure is that your vinyl piece is smaller than your cotton piece.
Next, you are going to glue your cotton and vinyl pieces together. For reference, you will have your cotton piece down with the pattern on the table. Set your vinyl piece on top of the cotton fabric, with the vinyl side facing up. So the back side of each of the pieces should be together.
Squeeze a line of glue along the outside piece of the cotton fabric and glue to the top of the vinyl piece. Like above. You will want to fold the corners like you are wrapping a present or something flat. Let that piece dry for about an hour.
While your fabric might not be fully dried after an hour, it is hardened enough for you to now glue and fold the bottom fold. Remember you are only gluing the sides of the pouch together. I folded the bottom piece up approximately 3 inches for reference. Then using clothes pins or any clamps you have, clamp the sides together and let dry overnight.
From here, you add your velcro and voila, you have yourself the cutest little snack bags that you can wipe clean.
