I always try, then find myself tossing the ruined paper in the trash and pulling out the one thing that never fails my wrapping needs: a bag. This year, I made the decision to skip the frustration of attempting to wrap anything that isn’t a normal size and shape, and go right to my stash of bags.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eMuslin bags are great to use for smaller gifts. They’re inexpensive and can be re-used, if the recipient desires. They’re also easy to customize however you see fit. After searching through my fabric stash, I spotted some rogue canvas triangles, meant to be used as a banner, and knew they’d make the perfect Christmas trees when flipped upside down.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eNo-Stitch Gift Sack Project Directions:\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThese bags are really fast to create if you work in an assembly-line fashion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFirst, lay out the canvas triangles onto newspaper or another protected surface.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eMist generously with spray ink, leaving a little of the raw canvas showing through.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWhen dry, select a rubber stamp to use to create a little texture on the “trees.” I chose a flower. Stamp your design repeatedly all of the canvas pieces. It’s OK if you can’t really see the design; you just want a little interest.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWhen dry, glue the canvas triangles to the muslin bags as desired.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eUse a marker to add faux stitching, and then add a glitter star on top of the tree. You can add crocheted lace and stamp sentiments to create even more interest on the bags. I kept it simple, but you could always add button “ornaments” or rhinestone “lights” to the tree.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis is also a great project to do with kids! Have them decorate the trees and you can attach them to the muslin bags for them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Free Projects","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45452538544279,"sku":"PROJ-1243","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/5546\/3319\/files\/PROJ-1243__40076.1558411830.1280.1280.jpg?v=1746794025","url":"https:\/\/stampington.live\/products\/no-stitch-gift-sack-project-by-christen-hammons","provider":"Stampington \u0026 Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
