These are just a few of the Christmas gift bags I make every year. We have a large family and went throught so much Christmas wrapping paper over the years!!! So, I began 5 years ago, buying the prettiest Christmas fabric I could find that was on sale (including remenents)! Then I began making gift bags - with a casing at the top with cloth ribbon. I would make these bags in all sorts of sizes...my stash of gift bags are well over 100, from very small to huge bags. Now, we still wrap a few presents with paper - but, mostly we use our gift bags. Each gift, I loosely wrap in tissue paper and then place in a bag, then add a name tag (with a hole punched through it) onto the ribbon. We even recycle our name tags!!! This has saved our family money and a huge amount of time as it is so easy to "wrap" our gifts, plus, we "going green"! My daughter, Katie, makes her own and even gives them away in groups of 12 as gifts to friends!
