12 Days of Christmas Bags Tutorial



We had fun today working
on a tutorial that is 
super easy ~ We have made
it even easier with kits 
available on our website :)

This project we are showing
early so that you have
plenty of time to work
on it before Christmas ~



These 12 days before 
Christmas bags can be hung
as we have shown or
you could put them on 
your Christmas tree ~
We thought it would be fun
for children to find the
number and open a little
gift for that day ~
You could fill the bags
with candy canes 
or a hand written fun
thing for the day ~
Use your imagination ~

1. We have tea dyed the
bags so the first
step is to use the citra
the numbers on the bags ~
You could also stencil
 numbers on ~ 


2. Glue strips of lace
across the top of the bag ~
3. Cut a piece of tea dyed
cheesecloth into a 
2 x 2.5 inch square ~
Scrunch it in the middle
and glue it on the lace ~
4. Glue on a button ~







Next just fill with
fun things that can 
be opened each of the 
12 days before Christmas ~






You can use string with 
clips to hang them
or you can hang them on
your tree ~


If you would like to 
purchase a kit to make
your own they are 
available here ~



Have fun!!

I love this project! I do have a question, though.... where did you purchase the clips to hang them? I would love to copy the chain and clips and would like some direction as to where to get these. Do you sell them? Such a sweet project and thanks for sharing this!
