Morning All,
Here is the quickest Santa Sack you can make no sew no glue no prep - Awesome!
It's a tradition in many Australian families to have the presents placed in a Santa Sack, according to my grandmother it was because way back in the day people couldn't afford to buy wrapping paper so the kids would place a pillow case at the end of their bed and Santa would come and fill it with their presents.
I made sacks for the older three, years ago, which they have used for more than a decade but the two little ones didn't have one so I wanted something quick and easy. It doesn't get quicker than this!
Supplies:
- Pillow Case
- Tshirt transfer paper
- Printer
- Printable - I used a free one from Pink Polka Dot Creations that can be found here
- Iron
- Iron the pillow case
- Print the graphic you wish to use
- Iron it on and you're done
It's that simple folks! However I tried to do the dark fabric transfer for Max and the iron was too hot his ended up looking like this
So I'm going to get some white fabric and iron another transfer onto that then place it over the top of the existing one. After I created these, Amberly at Bingo Buttercup crafts made a really sweet vintage style printable which I'll be using - you can see that one here
Now I want to share a trick with you that my Auntie taught my cousin who shared it with me, when you make stockings or Santa sacks, make each child two. Why? One is empty for decoration but for the rest of the year the spare one goes into storage and as you find things you fill them up and low and behold, Christmas Eve all you have to do is swap them over - Brilliant time saver!
DIY Delight or Disaster? well clearly one of each but this is a really easy project and once again I want to thank Rita of Pink Polkadot Creations and Amberly of Bingo Buttercup Crafts for sharing their free printable.
