Stitch together simple fabric pouches for creative and colorful gifts.
| Prep Time: Under 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| Fabric
Needle and thread Filling (dried beans or potpourri), optional | |
| Seasons: Christmas, Year round | |
| Materials: fabric, food items, nature objects | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. | Cut two five-inch squares of fabric and sew them together, right sides facing each other, leaving room to pour in the filling. |
| 2. | Turn the bag right-side out and poke out the corners from the inside with a pencil. |
| 3. | Depending on the final product, pour in the filling and stitch up the last side by hand. Three beanbags tied up in ribbon make a nice juggling set for a kid's pal. For a sachet (which adults may prefer), substitute fragrant herbs such as chamomile or mint for the beans. |
Variations
Add a snap closure or pullstrings to create a little
treasure pouch or change purse.
