How to Make Personalized Marshmallow Sticks

First, attach the desired letter to the woodburning tool.
Next, plug in the woodburning tool and allow it to heat up.
Once hot, place the letter on the wood handle for 5-10 seconds.
Note: You may need to slowly roll the letter to the left and right in order to burn a curved handle.
Next, lift the woodburning tool and check the burn. Is it dark enough? If not, press it back against the wood another 5-10 seconds.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have reached the desired color.

How to Make a DIY Carrying Bag for Smores Sticks

First, measure the length of the marshmallow sticks.
Cut the canvas fabric (or drop cloth) 14 inches wide. The length of the fabric should be 2 inches shorter than the total length of the marshmallow sticks.
Next, fold and iron a 1″ seam along the edges of the fabric.
Secure the seams with iron-on hem tape (follow the directions on the package).
Once hemmed along all 4 sides, cut a strip of scrap leather approximately 1/2 inch x 25 inches.
Attach the leather strap to either long edge of the fabric using embroidery thread. I embroidered five Xs at three points along the strap.
Note: This photo shows the strap next to the inside of the hem, but I ended up moving it to the outside edge of the hem.
Use hem tape to fold and sew one of the short edges of the fabric.
Use hem tape to attach the long edges of the fabric.
