Since I found the carrier bags I made a couple of quick and simple bags and matching money wallets. I know they are extremely simple but in my experience children barely look at the wrappings but are far more concerned with what is actually inside! Lol!
I decided to give the children money this year but obviously they would need some little things to open. Turned out to be pretty expensive little things!! Still, I enjoyed it and I know they will so that's what counts. And obviously I needed something to put these little things in, so here they are.
My Projects
gift bag
matching money wallet
These used toppers from Crafters Companion Inspiration Winter Edition, with some LOTV paper, SB Create a Flake 5 and Dees DinstinctlyStacker Tree.
whoops, cut off the handles - in the pic!
matching money wallet
For these I used papers from Simple Stories Handmade Holidays pad and embellished with SB snowflakes. It was certainly quicker than the ones I made from the manilla envelopes, but not quite so satisfying! And they were so much nicer too. Note to self - in 2014 remember to take pictures !!
Must go. Take care!
Great Idea Christine , the ones you have shown are stunning. Have a Wonderful Christmas and a Happy Crafty New Year. Hugs Rita xxx

ReplyDeleteHi Christine
ReplyDeleteSorry I missed this in the melee. Still using up about twenty rolls of wrapping paper I bought a couple of years ago so bags won't get a look in until its all gone lol.
Hope you're both having a lovely Christmas.
