Gift Decorating

I know, Halloween isn't even over and I am giving you Christmas projects. In my defense, Christmas will be here before you know it. I am simply giving you a head start. Actually, these projects are more for decorating the gifts rather than the actual gifts. Wrapping and decorating gifts is my favorite part of gift giving. Even with a practical gift, the wrapping can be as impractical as you like. This month’s projects are a Wine Bottle Gift Bag and a Poinsettia Ornament. They are both made from felt, so you know they are going to be easy to embroider and to sew.
 
For the project instructions I made the Poinsettia Ornament in Christmas red and green. But, I have this idea of making a whole bunch of these in white for my Christmas tree.
Here is the first one. I love it, it’s beautiful. What do you think?? I also used 7 tiny jingle bells instead of the three larger ones. I like both options, the larger ones make more of a sound. I know my great nephew is going love the jingle sound.
