Truth be told, I’m pretty forgetful. And with all of the chaos that is the holiday season, there is always something I’m forgetting…
That’s why these Christmas Treat Bags are so great! They are a 10 minute sew, perfect for last minute gifting, or for holiday parties where there are a lot of attendees.
They also make fun gift wrap for gift cards and candies, but they also fit other small items like lip balm or a deck of cards.
Plus they use very little material! Just one long strip of fabric and a small piece of rick rack!
And of course you can easily customize the size, so if you need it bigger for say a ring box *winky face* or smaller for a cash gift, it can be done with little extra effort.
Another thing I love about this simple design is that it’s like a blank canvas for you to customize however you want! You could embroider names on the bags or add cute Christmas themed buttons or other embellishments!
Plus, this bag can be made in any type of fabric for any get together. Think Halloween, Birthdays, or even a Wedding!
