Custom Coral Patterned Burlap Cosmetic Zipper Bags

Custom Coral Burlap Cosmetic Bags - Lina and Vi

I've been working these past three weeks on a custom order of burlap cosmetic bags for a customer looking to match a specific theme and color palette. My customer sent over a few photos of coral and mint green tablescapes and decor items as a starting point.  (Tip: Sending over photos is a huge help. Like the saying goes, a picture says a thousand words! See my top tips on how to order custom items on Etsy here.) From there, I was able to narrow in on her desired color scheme for the bottom of the bags - cream and coral, and the prints for the interior linings of the bags - floral and ikat.

In total, this order was for six cosmetic bags featuring a solid bottom exterior, burlap outer, and three different variations of printed cotton fabric for the interior lining, all handpicked by my customer after I collected several options and presented them to her via a custom Pinterest board for review.

This was the first time I order fabric through Spoonflower, and I'm happy to report that the process went smoothly and shipping was much faster than I anticipated. You can find the pink floral and the ikat fabrics on Spoonflower. I'm amazed at the amount of printed fabric designs they have available. It's easy to spend hours on their site searching through beautiful prints, and the best part is that most of them are from independent designers which is great. If I order from Spoonflower again, I will likely order something other than the basic cotton so that can be a bit heavier in weight. Overall, it worked well for this project, though, and I am happy with the outcome and I think my customer will be too.

These bags turned out beautifully, and I'm excited for them to arrive to my customer.  I didn't get the story behind the order, but I'm assuming they will be used for some type of gift. Knowing that someone chose me to help them create something special to be gifted to someone special keeps me going with large projects like these.

We don't currently have any large cosmetic zipper bags available in our Etsy shop, but I am hoping to restock in the coming weeks. In the meantime, stop by our shop to see recently reduced items!

Enjoy!
