Christmas Net Bags

christmas net  bags, christmas crafts for kids

These little bags can be co-ordinated to suit almost any Christmas colour scheme and dressed up or down depending on how you and the children are feeling! Use them to hang little presents on the Christmas tree, as a little gift at everyone's place on the Christmas table, or to enclose tiny presents for favourite little friends.

You will need

  • A small amount of petticoat netting in Christmas colours - red, green, white - which you can find at your local fabric shop. You may also be able to find similar fabric in gold and silver.
  • Elastic bands
  • Ribbon
  • Fillings - we suggest gold coins, favourite sweets, small children's Christmas tree ornament etc
  • Coloured tissue paper or crepe paper if you want the contents to be hidden
  • Decorative extras such as holly sprigs, berries, small ornaments
  • Scissors or pinking shears
  • Paper and pencil for template

Instructions
Draw around a side plate or similar to make a circle template of a minimum of about 9 inches diameter.

Use this template to cut out the required number of net circles, using pinking shears for a decorative finish if you like.

Cut out a slightly smaller circle of tissue paper or crepe paper and place this on top of the net circle - this will disguise the contents of your package.

Put a small treat or handful of coins or sweets in the middle of the circle, then carefully gather up the edges of the circle and fix with a small elastic band. Younger children may need a little help with this. Fluff out the edges of the fabric and paper to make the bag look pretty.

Tie a ribbon around the elastic band to disguise it and provide a loop for hanging if desired.

Attach any decorative extras. A small sprig of holly and red berries looks gorgeous pushed though a red gingham ribbon tied around red net. There are endless possibilities! If the children are involved a tiny teddy or snowman decoration could be tied on, or a candy cane pushed through.
