Hello everybody! In today's craft we are going to make a pretty sack christmas ornament. It is perfect to decorate the tree and it is also very easy to do So it can be done with the kids this holiday, it can be gifted as an invisible friend or just made to add to the Christmas decorations.
Do you want to see how to do it?
Materials that we will need to make our sack-shaped Christmas ornament
- Sackcloth, burlap ... I'm reusing this from a pot of honey.
- Christmas colored cord, it can be of a single color or several.
- Some ornament such as a leaf, or a small pineapple or fruit.
- Something to fill the bag: other papers.
Hands on craft
- The first step is to smooth the sackcloth or burlap and insert the filling for the bag in the center, in my case I have used scraps of paper, eva rubber ... left over from another craft instead of throwing them away, but you can use anything: fabrics, cotton, toilet paper ...
- Once filled we will bring all the ends together to form the sack. Once together we are going to hold it with our hand and stretch around the edge until it is even at the top.
- Now we give a couple of turns with the end of the thread and make a knot. It is important that one end of the knot is very long and the other short but that it allows another knot to be made.
- We winding up the rest of the thread but leaving a piece of thread wide enough to use as a handle. We hold that piece so that it does not close while we wind the rest of the thread and knot with the short end of the previous knot. We should have a string as a sturdy handle.
- We stick the leaf or the decoration figurine in the center of the bag. If necessary, it is fixed with a little hot silicone.
And ready!
I hope you cheer up and do this craft.
