Rustic Mini Bag Plaid Christmas Tree Ornaments
Sometimes dollar store products just need a little something to become boutique or craft sale caliber decorations. I call these crafts semi-homemade.
I picked up these three little buffalo check cloth mini bags at Dollar General for $1. Time to create some semi-homemade Christmas tree ornaments!
Next I pulled out a Hobby Lobby snowflake stencil. I purchased this one in a prior year, but it's still available online and maybe in stores too.
I then pounced on three different snowflake stencils on the three bags using Fusion Mineral Paint in Champlain. It's a good idea to place a small piece of cardboard inside the bags before stenciling to avoid paint bleed through to the back layer.
I found these 6" cinnamon sticks at a local grocery store for $1.67 on sale. They will work perfectly with my project!
I untied the knot in one of the sides of the bag, threaded a jingle bell on one jute string, and tied the bag shut in the front.
I cut a loop of jute and hot glued it on the back of the bag like so.
I ended up untying the bags and sticking a Kleenex in the bottom of each bag. I tore them in two and stuffed half in each corner of the bags.

Adorable. Would look cute tied to a gift as well.

you can also put a drop or two of cinnamon oil or an apple oil on the tissue or cloth you put inside the bottom of the little bag.
