by

Santa Sack Tute Made by ChrissieIn the UK, Xmas stockings (the small ones) are hung on the end of a child’s bed waiting for Santa to fill them up on Christmas Eve. But don’t think their hearths go empty, oh no, they go large. Chris (Made by ChrissieD) explains,

A great twist on a Xmas stocking – make a Santa sack and start a new family tradition.
