This year our family is making a concerted effort to simplify Christmas - to give small yet meaningful gifts and focus on quality time spent together.
For my part, I'm making each family member a simple gift wrapped in a reusable bag - I hope these bags will last for a few years and will become a familiar treat under the tree.
I made at least 12 bags in one night - I have to admit that I got a little carried away with the fun words and quickness of the project.
To make the bags, I bought pre-made muslin bags and used fusible fabric paper to iron felt words on to the bags.
I used a small stencil to draw the letters and stuck to 3 letters per bag. It was fun coming up with words which range from joy, luv, and hi to ???, wow, and zap!
