Christmas Miniatures

This is a collection I made for an upcoming party of mini friends in Nashville.   I bought the rocking chair (3 inches tall), and decided not to finish it but will let the person who gets it finish as they want.   
I made the flannel throw, rug, pillow, wreath, and gift filled bag.  

Recently I've seen large gift filled bags for children and thought I’d make a mini version.
I filled the bag with packages and a candy cane
I used a graphic on the bag from the Silhouette Design Store online, by Samantha Walker, called “North Pole Postmarks”. 
I added the words “naughty and nice”, and check boxes.  I re-sized the image I created to fit the little bag then printed onto transfer paper.  Then image is ironed onto the bag.  I use Microsoft Word or Publisher to create most of what I do including this project. Using Publisher when your image is finished, you can choose the “save as” option, then click “jpg”, this allows you to edit in Pic Monkey, etc.  

Hope you enjoy the idea, let me know if you make a mini gift bag.  XO E

    So cute! I am still enamored with my little house. I love to see your ideas. The Santa bag is genius. I found some cute little Christmas minis at Michaels that are really cute. But, I haven't made anything yet. I wish I lived near you and could come over for some mini-lessons! Thanks so much for sharing this post!!!

      I went mini crazy at Michael's! I am justify this mini buying and hoarding ya see I'm gathering and storing these treasures for retirement (like I might get to retire!!) I'd love to have some more mini making buddies I joined NAME and there is a local chapter in Nashville, they meet once a month and we make a craft, we have made some neat things. You might check out the NAME website to see if you have a local group https://miniatures.org/ They just updated their website, and its not very informative, but let me know if you have questions, the 2016 national mtg is in Seattle I hear those a great fun ! Good to "talk" E.
