To make these cute Homemade Christmas presents, you will need: colored cardstock paper, satin ribbon, craft glue, blue glitter or beads, double-sided tape, scissors, a stationery knife, a ruler and a pencil.

Homemade Christmas gift ideas - Step 1. Take a sheet of colored cardstock paper. It can be any color you want. Light yellow paper was used in this example. Cut a wide strip and fold it as shown in the picture. The width of the base can be any size.
Note: If you want a taller gift bag, you will need to glue two pieces of cardstock together to make a longer strip.

Kids Christmas crafts - Step 2. On one part of the strip, draw a Christmas tree with a pencil and cut it out with a stationery knife.

Edible Christmas gifts - Step 4. At the base of the tree, glue on a snowdrift made out of blue paper. Take a piece of thin satin ribbon (yellow in this example) and glue it around the snowdrift, securing the ribbon on the back side of the paper with double-sided tape. Make a small bow in the front.

Cool Christmas Gifts - Step 5. Fold the strip with the short sides up. Cut a V-shaped opening in the top part. It is a hole where there will be a clear bag with tasty goodies.

Homemade Christmas presents - Step 6. Put treats in a clear bag such as cookies, candy, nuts, and dried fruit pieces. Put a bag with treats inside your beautiful paper bag. Thread the top part of a clear bag through the hole you made in step 5. Tie a bow using the same color ribbon as in step 4. You can also attach a name tag to this gift.
