DIY Christmas Treat Bags: Easy Holiday Craft Tutorial

DIY Christmas Treat Bags: Easy Holiday Craft Tutorial

Posted on by Sandi Nagel

I just shared a new blog post featuring one of my favorite easy holiday craft projects — DIY Christmas treat bags made with items you may already have in your stash.

This post goes hand in hand with a new how-to video on my YouTube channel, where I walk you through the entire process step by step, from creating dimensional number tags to assembling festive treat bags that are perfect for gifting.

If you enjoy simple, cozy paper crafts, I’d love for you to watch the video, give it a thumbs up, and subscribe so you don’t miss future tutorials. Your support truly helps the channel grow.

Gift-Wrapping Ideas You Can Use Right Now

Gift-Wrapping Ideas You Can Use Right Now

Posted on by Sandi Nagel

Today I’m shariing a few of my favorite gift-wrapping ideas — the kind that feel simple, soft, and handmade. If you love cozy textures, pretty ribbons, and that little vintage touch, you’ll enjoy this one.

Everything I used was either from my stash or leftover scraps, and I promise the process is super simple. A layered ribbon here, a handmade tag there, and suddenly your gift looks like something out of a boutique.

The full tutorial is now on my blog if you want to take a look.

💗I decided to stretch Cyber Monday into a full Cyber Week for anyone who was caught up in the holiday rush. If you missed the sale earlier, you still have time to peek around the shop and enjoy the deals.

Digital papers are $1.49, cabochons are 50 cents, paper packs are 40% off, handmade gifts are 60% off, and there are little surprises tucked in throughout the store.

I hope this helps you stock up for your winter projects and gives you a little extra room to create. Thanks for being here and for supporting my small business during the busiest time of the year. 💗

If you’re in your handmade-gift era right now, this is your sign. 💙

These little beaded pens and bookmarks are so easy to make, and honestly one of my favorite “use your stash” projects for the holidays. A few beads, a charm, maybe a tassel or pom-pom, and you’ve got a gift that feels personal without taking forever.

I pulled together some simple winter-blue ideas using supplies from Decor8yourlife so you can see how fast these come together. Perfect for:
• stocking stuffers
• teacher gifts
• craft-fair add-ons
• journal and planner buddies
• “just because” happy mail

And since Black Friday week is here, it’s a great time to stock up on bead packs, charms, beadable pens, keychain bits, and bookmark bases if you want to make a bunch for friends and family.
