This bag was an unusual success this year. I’m still not sure why so many people fell in love with it. It kind of escapes me really. It all started when I had left over red and white ticking fabric. I hate throwing fabric away if there is any way possible it can be used. So a Christmas gift bag was born from my desire to use up fabric scraps that would have typically ended up in the trash bin.
Every time I sold a set, I’d shake my head, telling Mom “I just don’t get it.” But oh well, I’ll keep making them as long as people keep wanting them for their gift wrap.
All in all I made 80 of these bags this holiday season, over 5 yards of fabric to create them. At this point I’d like to never see red ticking fabric again, at least for a long time 
How do you intend to wrap your gifts this year? Is everyone being more “earth friendly” and using fabric gift bags, biodegradable bags, tissue paper, decorated boxes?
Well, they are just adorable! I understand what you mean though. I made so many hot chocolate candles! They are my most labor intensive and temperamental candle variety. But that is what people loved about it.
You are a great example of what I often say…Our economy is in a paradigm shift. There is money to be spent we just have to find what is most beneficial for people and provide it. I am thinking we are headed into a new “revolution” in the way businesses operate. Those that catch the vision fastest will do the best.
Now…I am stepping off my soapbox!
Merry Christmas!
