There are dozens of ways to make camel
bags. Ours are very crudely made and yet have served us well
for many, many years.
Here is what you will need:
-2 yards of burlap
-glue gun
-coarse glitter         Fold in half lengthwise, for easier
cutting and cut so that the finished piece measures 72 by 24
inches. We drape our bags over the back of our dining room
chairs. If your chairs are appreciably wider or narrower, you
may want to adjust the second measurement.         Using a glue gun, glue along all the
edges and fold over about 1 inch so that the burlap does not
unravel.
        Fold over 16 inches from each narrow
end. These will form the pockets for your camel bag.
 Using the glue gun, glue and finger press these pockets
down.         On the outside of one of the
pockets, use a permanent marker and write the name of the
child.         Trace the name with the glue
gun and sprinkle heavily with large course glitter, carefully
pressing the glitter into the burlap. If your burlap is woven
especially loose, you may wish to slip a piece of cardboard
into the pocket first, to prevent the pocket from being glued
shut.         Shake off the excess glitter.         Hang and enjoy!
