This tutorial teaches you how to make homemade burp cloths, which are a fundamental skill in cake and dessert decorating. The process involves placing the bag in your hand, positioning the twist in the crease between your thumb and forefinger, closing your hand around the bag, and using your entire palm to squeeze. Place the index and middle finger of your other hand on the coupler to steady your bag.
Burlap bags can be used for party favors filled with trinkets or candy, or as gift bags to hold a gift. Decorating with a bag and tip is one of the most fundamental skills in cake and dessert decorating. This tutorial is perfect for beginner sewists and offers a free burp cloth template to print.
To create burp cloths, fill the bag about 2/3 to 3/4 of the way up and gently “burp” it by adding pressure to eliminate any air bubbles that may have gotten trapped before piping. Press the filling down towards the tip, encouraging any air pockets to escape. Twist the bag closed and hold the back end, spin it around really fast, using centrifugal force to make all the icing go to the end. Cut off the tip, stir the icing around in the bag with a long skewer, and knead the bag to work the air upwards and “burp”.
In conclusion, making homemade burp cloths is a simple and fast project that can be both cute and practical. By following this tutorial, you can create one of the best burp cloth patterns ever and enjoy the benefits of homemade decorations.
