Stash Report and Snap Bags

I made a couple of  little snap bags for Christmas gift cards holders this week.

 
Then I looked through a bag of scraps a friend had given me and made a snap bag for her out of some her orphan blocks.  She will get it back for Christmas, but I need to think of something small to put into the bag too.
 
 
 

 There are many tutorials online for snap bags that use metal measuring tapes as closures. The hardest part of making these little bags is cutting the metal measuring tape.  I bought a new one to cut up, but last night my DH told me he had just thrown away an old one! The first snap bag I made didn't turn out big enough, even for a gift card!  I will probably take that one apart and salvage the fabric.

I've made a few little bags this year, but not these. Yours are really cute. Have a great holiday!

Those snap bags are really cute. You've almost broken even this year on the stash, great job of stash management.

We finally broke a tape measure and I now have it tucked safely away to make a few bags next year.

Merry Christmas
