Start by gathering all your decor items. I love these little muslin drawstring bags for crafts and gifts. They are easy to paint and stamp too!
For this craft you can decorate these bags two ways: with a traditional Christmas stamp and ink pad or with a Christmas cookie cutter dipped in paint.
We did both but the girls enjoyed stamping and painting with cookie cutters the most. 
My crafty girl would do a project every day if I’d let her! She enjoyed making these bags for her friends and teachers.
Stella, who is in preschool, is practicing coloring and staying in the lines. This is an easy craft for kids of all ages.
A beautiful painted and stamped bag!
