Hi Everyone! It’s hard to believe that Christmas is less than a month away now! I look forward to this time all year long, and I have some fun Christmas projects and recipes to share with you in the next couple of weeks, starting with these little Christmas Treat Bags! Since this month is filled with lots of holiday parties, gift buying, making and packaging, I thought they would be the perfect way to start off the Christmas season here on my blog!
.
CHRISTMAS TREAT BAGS
.
YOU WILL NEED
1 cable knit sweater
Ribbon
Embellishments of your choice
Sewing machine or Hot glue gun
.
.
DIRECTIONS
To make these, start by cutting your sweater pieces. For each bag, cut two pieces (mine were 6×10 inches big each) and hem the top parts that will be the bag opening. Then, place the two sweater pieces together with the outside sides facing each other, and either sew the three sides that you didn’t hem together, or glue them together using some hot glue. Then, turn the bags inside out, fill them with candy or whatever else you want to stuff them with, add some ribbon and whatever embellishments you are using (attach them to the ribbon using hot glue) and you are done!

Happy Crafting, Everyone!
