FESTIVE FUN
A s we visit with family over the holidays,
the kids will be delivering goodies
like cookies and presents, as well as
ornaments and cards made at school.
Of course, we want to wrap up these
festive items in pretty packages. A
thoughtful craft, as well as a creative
way to save money, is making a set of
homemade holiday gift bags.
My children thought this was the
COOLEST way to give, and can’t get
enough of decorating their
own packages!
If you would like to make your own Gift
Bags, here is what you will need.
- Brown Paper Bags
- Pipe Cleaners AKA Fuzzy Sticks
- White Coffee Filters
- Construction Paper
(Black, Yellow, Orange, etc)
- Crayons
- Red Pom Poms
- Cotton Balls
- Glue Stick and/or Glue
- Safety Scissors
- Hole Punch
your local discount store.
Directions:
To get started with these homemade
theme of your bag will be. We created
Snow People, Christmas Trees, and a Red
Nosed Reindeer.
Once your child picks what
they are going to make,
it is time to either cut
out the parts or draw
a face or shape.
