Christmas Favors

Working on lots of stuff right now . . . here are some fun Christmas favor ideas, more fun Christmas ideas coming soon . . .


These fun Santa Bags are filled with candy, but anything would work. I think red fabric with white pom poms would be so cute! Here's some probably confusing instructions, I'm afraid I didn't take pictures for this one.

Santa Bags: (need Fabric, 2 pom poms, matching embroidery floss, a needle)

• Cut a 12 inch diameter circle out of fabric
• Tie a knot in a 2 foot piece of embroidery floss, thread in needle
• Push your needle through one pom pom and pull pom pom down until it stops at  knot
• Sew a running stitch around the circle roughly an inch from the edge all the way around doing one small stitch past where you started.
• push needle through second pom pom and pull needle off thread
• tie a knot in the end of the embroidery floss and pull pom pom down to knot
• gently hold pom poms and push fabric together to shut your "bag"

Next up are mini fabric topped Felt Stockings:

Felt Stockings: (need red felt, fabric scraps, sewing machine)

• Fold felt in half and cut out the shape of a sock (if you want to be smart, I wasn't, make a pattern on paper first and add 1/4 inch all the way around--use to cut out felt)

• Cut out a piece of fabric 2 inches plus height and the width of your sock
• Lay your fabric on top of your felt wrong sides together and with your socks mirror images of each other

• Sew across the top of fabric/felt

• fold down bottom part of fabric 1/8-1/4 inch (press if you want)

• Fold fabric down over felt and sew across bottom 

• Put right sides of socks together sew around sides and bottom

• inside out and fill

enjoy!
