OH WHAT FUN MINI BAGS | with Niella

How fast is this month going and with December in sight, you've definitely come to the right place for Christmas crafty inspiration! Hi crafty crew, so happy to see you here today! Welcome, I have a fun treat today with the new Oh What Fun collection! So fun! And a showcasing video at the end to give you an inspiration station of ideas and a peek inside! Let's take a fun-tastic look at my project: a set of Merry Mail mini bags! So cutieful!

Aren't these so cute and each merry mail bag only takes one sheet of 12x12"! I do have a tutorial for these bags and if you've got a keen eye and awesome memory, you'll know I did a Valentines bag just like this for my very first Design Team project for Doodlebug. I've left the link below to the step by step tutorial!

Look at how cute the little elves are! Busy helping Santa Claus prepare for Christmas! These darling faces are so cute with their sweet wee outfits, how cute is the candy mix and the patterned papers! Everything is spectacular! Inside this 3.5 x 3.5" bag I've popped in some merry mail; a bundle of handmake tickets and bits tied with doodle twine! This bag is machine stitched, which is totally optional.

This bag is not stitched and looks just as cute! This is slightly bigger and measures 4x4". Each bag has a hidden magnet as well, which makes them easier to open. And see how each bag has a front pocket. Perfect to slip in a small note for your lucky recipient.

Thank you again for visiting crafty crew! I hope you've found inspiration today! Please remember to tag us in our your Socials when you create with Doodlebug so we can all admire your creativity! We love seeing your creations. Until next time; doodle dee!
