Sew Your Own Christmas Tree Drawstring Bag

A Full Size Tree Pattern Using A Cereal Box.

Wrap gifts in a sustainable way plus use up small fabric cuts. Dig through scraps of holiday cottons, festive prints, or even metallic accents that shimmer under the lights. A wonderful weekend of holiday sewing, even the kids can help.

 

Choose fabrics that match your holiday décor, add embroidery or quilting lines to give texture, or even personalize it with a name tag. The bags even have a tree trunk. To make the Christmas Tree Drawstring Bag, start by cutting two rectangles of fabric for the outer layer and two for the lining, size them based on what you plan to put inside.

The pattern shows how to create a tree pattern template using a cereal box, making it so much easier to trace onto the outer fabric and lining.  The finished result looks wonderfully polished and gift-ready. While the pattern is for two sizes (miniature and large), easily scale up to a bigger size, perhaps printing on tabloid, or B3, (A3) size paper. Larger versions make excellent reusable gift sacks under the tree.

Heartwarming Christmas prints are put on display, colorful and interesting under tree. Many would become keepsakes, and even used as a storage bag to keep the original gift.

Watch this step by step video of how to make a Christmas Tree drawstring bag. It’s super easy and beginner friendly.

The kids can cut out the paper template and help glue it onto the cereal box, and even help sewing the Christmas tree bag, with special mention as to which bag is for who, and so on. A fun holiday sewing family project, or simply enjoy some quiet therapy sewing on your own.
