Take a red paper bag or you may choose a colour you like
The bag that we have taken is measuring 8" x 10" inches. You may select the size as per your requirement
Take an A4 sized white paper
Draw a face of santa on the paper in such a way that you can cut and make a stencil
The size of the santa face is approximately 5" inches long and proportionately wide
You may select a big or a small sized face as per the size of the bag you choose
Take an OHP sheet to make the stencil
Place the santa drawing below the OHP sheet and trace it using a permanent marker
Remove the drawing paper from below and cutout the shapes using a sharp paper cutter
Arrange and place the stencil on the bag
You may stick the stencil on the surface for it not to move when you are dabbing with colour
Sponge dab appropriate colours for the santa using Acrylic Colours - Black for the eyes, Crimson for the cap, a mixture of Orange and White for the face and White for the beard
Leave it to dry
Outline the face of the Santa using Liquid Embroidery Glitter - Silver
Let It dry
Cutout a 2" inch strip in the size of the bag
Write "Merry Christmas" lightly on the strip
Stick white coloured ornamental stones on "MERRY CHRISTMAS" using No Stitch Fabric Glue
It will look like this once you finish it, adding that glittery look to make it more festive
Stick the decorated strip on the base of the bag using No Stitch Fabric Glue
Draw a few small and big snowflakes lightly on the remaining area around the Santa face
Stick ornamental stones of appropriate sizes on the snowflakes
This is how it will look as you go on completing the snowflakes
A beautiful gift bag with Santa along with the festive bling is ready to be used for gifting
