How To Make A Christmas Wreath Gift bag in 5 Easy Steps

(This post contains affiliate links)

I have a confession to make

Remember last week when I showed you how to make the quick and easy Christmas gift bags? If you missed it you can read it HERE

Well I was holding out on you…

You see, I had made one other Christmas gift bag that I didn’t show you

The reason that I didn’t share it was because it was easy but it really wasn’t as quick as the other ones

But even though it takes a couple of minutes longer to make than the others

It’s still super easy

And pretty cute

So I think you’ll still want to give it a try

Here’s what you’ll need:

A plain craft gift bag

Plain cotton duck or felt or any other medium to heavy weight fabric — you can use scraps because it doesn’t take very much fabric. I used some cotton duck scraps I had left over from a slipcover

9 to 11 3/8 inch beads

Sharp scissors

Hot glue gun

Paper and pencil

STEP ONE

Start by drawing a large circle on your bag.

I just use a saucer or small bowl that’s the right size and trace around it to get my circle

STEP TWO

Make a pattern of a small leaf shape that’s about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches long

This is what you’ll use to cut your wreath ‘leaves’

STEP THREE

Cut about 50 to 60 leaves from your fabric

STEP FOUR

Glue the leaves onto the circle with hot glue

Whichever direction you go around the circle, you want to make sure your next leaf is covering the glued end of the one before it

Keep going all the way around until the circle is covered. Then go around again and fill in any thin spots

STEP FIVE

Glue on your beads

Place your beads randomly around the wreath and secure them with a dab of hot glue.

Quick tip: if you have strings of hot glue on the project just hit it with a quick shot of hot air from your blow dryer and they’ll disappear

And you’re done!

I love white on white so that’s how I went with this

But you could do a white wreath on a red bag

Or a green wreath on a white bag

Or a white wreath on a brown bag

Or red beads on a white wreath….
