These gift/goody bags work up quickly in worsted weight yarn, and because they only use
a few yards of each color, they are great stash busters. They are also easy to personalize by using different colors and adding embellishments.

* Fill a candy cane bag with peppermints for a great teacher's gift.
* Use scented soap or a Christmas-scented candle in the poinsettia bag for a unique
hostess gift.
* Make an elf with the same hair color as your giftee, and you turn an impersonal gift
card into a personalized gift.
* Omit the drawstring, fill with tissue paper or Fiberfill, sew opening closed and you
have a one-of-a-kind decoration for your Christmas tree.
* Your little girl would love to carry one of these bags as a Christmas season purse.
