Present day doesn't allow such luxuries. Kids love nothing more than to rip open gifts, especially when told not to touch them for awhile. What's a girl to do? Sew her presents, of course! So far, not one gift has been broken into.
I started by having the girls make a huge mess with paint on craft paper.
I then cut out the paper, sewed some silly designs, stuffed the gift inside, and "hemmed" it up. I've managed to put a few under our Christmas palm tree.
It's been fun using some of the decorative stitches on the sewing machine.
The middle one is supposed to be a peppermint candy...um, yeah, not so much...but it was fun trying!
This fun project works well on the small gifts, but the big ones will be a little difficult. Those may just get a single bow right before we do the gift opening.

These were by far the cutest gifts ever. You (and the girls) outdid yourselves!
