Drawstring Sack Gift Bags!

To end my Christmas Series 2021 I’ve made these cute Drawstring Santa’s Sack Gift Bags

These have evolved from my Whiches Cauldrons I made back in November.

By extending the top and changing a few measurements you get these cool drawstring effect.

If you add a base they make brilliant table favours, sit them in a hamper, or stuff in the tree for someone to find!

They hold quite a bit and will fit a Terry’s Chocolate orange in perfectly.

SUPPLIES USED TO MAKE THESE

Craft UK Red Cardstock is available here.

My Pink & Purple Scoreboard by Hunkydory Is available here.

The sentiment on the gift tag is old and unavailable.
