This food carrier is for the final day of my daughter's Secret Santa gifts. It is made from two placemats that I padded the inside bottom and added the snowflake corner from Embroider This and her name. Was not the shape I wanted but at the time could only find plastic placemats so I worked with these two cloth ones. The image I saw had ties closing it but I put Velcro as the closure. There will be a purchased container to go inside.

Thanks. Had a poinsettia in mind but when I couldn't find it choose the snowflake. Found the poinsettia a few days later. lol

Fantastic work on this. As I read your description I thought. I am not fond of plastic either but Wow this is lined and will wipe up on outside nicely if someone spills on it. I love it.The design is perfect goes so well with the mat. Love the personalized additon.

These are the only 3 fabric ones I could find and the black color your right about it not showing stains if there is a spill.

Gee, that came out great! I'd never think of using plastic, but it sure does the job.

Thanks but I should have said I only found 3 cloth ones. Two black ones and one light blue. lol It was the shape that I didn't want to work with and if I squared it up it would have been to small.

I never heard from secret santa before. We don't have that in Holland.
But I suppose you take a name and have to buy/make something for the one whose name you drew.
We do things like that with Sinterklaas (december 5). And we don't wrap it in normally, but make something funny to put it in. We once made a computer, a house, a bed for a doll and so on. And we write a funny poem with it. Sadly my children do want to do the presents and the poem, but they say they don't have time for the funny thing to wrap it in.

Yes - it was take a name and not tell the others. Don't know how she is going to get the gifts in the office daily and no one sees. Thanks for sharing your tradition. You made your gift giving wrap useful.
