Plaid Christmas Gift Bag

"This plaid drawstring gift bag makes a lovely reusable wrapping option for your holiday gifts. It is 8x10 1/2 inches when finished and works well for holding small gifts like a book, stuffed animal, mug, or balls of yarn. The bag is a tapestry crochet rectangle that is easily seamed across the bottom and up one side. A simple braided drawstring completes the bag so it's ready for gifting to your loved ones! The bag can be a gift all on its own, or it can wrap a gift. Either way, your recipient can reuse it to hold their treasures or as wrapping for another gift."
