Peppermint Hot Chocolate Gift Bag by Michelle


Here's a warm and cozy idea from Michelle Giraud that can double as a Valentine treat!  

Michelle loves her new Burlap Bags from SRM and decided to create a pocketed burlap gift bag by taking the smaller bag, turning it inside out, then hand sewing it to the center of the larger bag.  Brilliant!

She flipped down the front flap, so once sewn around all edges it forms 3 pockets.

Perfect for a Mini Tube of marshmallows and 2 Skinny Tubes of crushed peppermint!  The front of the bag was decorated with half a paper doily from SRM and a large flower.

The tag is from the SRM Valentines "labels by the dozen" sheet.

There are lots of recipes for homemade hot chocolate online, I ended up choosing a simple mixture of powdered milk, powdered cocoa and sugar in equal parts.

What a fun and delicious idea Michelle.  Would never have thought to sew the 2 sizes of Burlap Bags together!
