They are just simple bags with a ribbon draw string. Some have squared bottoms others not and they are all different sizes from small 5 X & to 22 X 26. I have already started making bags for my nieces and nephews for Christmas 2021. Each bag will hold two potholders.
Shame on me, I did not take any photos of the bags. Will post photo when I finish more. Such an easy gift and it sure saves on the cost of gift wrap the just goes in the trash every year!!
That is a cool tradition! I did make some fabric bags this year but only because I didn’t have the sizes needed. Totally improvised but it made the gift look so pretty.....and I didn’t have to go shopping....I just may do this for everything next year, too.
