Lesson on creating an original bag for the New Year decor with your own hands with detailed instructions and photo

Very soon the most long-awaited andeveryone's favorite holiday is New Year. As you know, on this holiday it is customary to exchange gifts among adults, and children eagerly await the arrival of the fabulous Santa Claus with treats. It is especially pleasant when you find such gifts under the festive tree in beautiful packaging, this gives the event even more celebration and awe. That is why I decided to dedicate my next master class to making a beautiful New Year's gift bag with my own hands. I hope you like this idea and you will sew similar packaging for each gift.

Materials and tools

So, to make a New Year's gift bag with your own hands, we will need:

  • sackcloth;
  • threads of red mulberry;
  • Prepared a small embroidery cross on canvas on a New Year theme;
  • thin satin ribbon;
  • scissors;
  • sewing needle.

Description of work

1.From the burlap we cut out a strip, about 15 cm wide and 34 cm long, which we immediately fold in half widthwise with the front side up. Please note that these dimensions are given for a small bag, but you can make yours larger or smaller, for this you should increase or decrease the size of the cut-out part accordingly.Photo of making a New Year's bag.

Next, take the previously made New Year-themed cross stitch and, stepping back from the drawing itself by approximately 2-2.5 cm, cut it out along the canvas.Photo of making a New Year's bag.

After this, we will decorate the perimeter of the embroidery with fringe, for this we will carefully pull out the longitudinal and transverse threads of the canvas, forming a fringe about 7-9 ml long.Photo of making a New Year's bag.

Please note that we will lay the stitch approximately 2-3 ml from the edge of the fringe.Photo of making a New Year's bag. Photo №45.

We use large identical stitches of the overlock stitch for this.Photo of making a New Year's bag. Photo №67. When one side of the gift bag is sewn, we move to the top edge of the product and sew it in a circle so that the burlap does not fray or unravel during further use.Photo of making a New Year's bag.

On both ends of the thread we form voluminous knots, after which we tighten the tie itself a little to give our bag the correct shape and tie it into a bow.Photo of making a New Year's bag.

As an additional decoration for the product, we will use a thin red satin ribbon from which we form a small, neat bow and sew it in the lower right corner of the embroidery.Photo of making a New Year's bag.
