Santa’s Special Christmas Penny Mix Bags

I made a few Santa Penny Mix bags as little fairing gifts for friend’s children. When I was at work I made so many of these for all occasions and they always sold like hot cakes.

Santa's Sweet Treat Favour BagsTo be honest, there’s not an awful lot to them.  I just collected an assortment of chocolate santas, snowmen, coins, tokens and candy canes on my travels to put in the bags ……..

……… and then made tags using up odd scraps of Kraft card and decorating with little festive scene with Santa stickers found in Poundland.

Since I started going to Slimming World, I have been eating a awful lot of satsumas and clementines and as a by product have also been saving the small wooden crates they come in.  Hopefully I will be selling a few of my bits and pieces in Moo Moos, my Evesham café of choice,  in the New Year and “tarted” up, I think the crates will be a cheap but effective storage and display unit to put them in.

The bags and tags are cute as can be, and the wooden crates are a great display idea. I never throw them away. I use them to store crafting and sewing supplies.

This is a wonderful idea-one I might use for my next craft fair (if that's OK?).
