	Using Mom's Break exclusive Christmas stocking free printables, you can make a cute stocking gift bag---just right to put a little treat in for kids who are attending a Christmas party, for your child to give as presents to everyone in his or her class, or for very special gift for Grandma! Download the zip file of Christmas stockings from Mom's Break (see the accompanying article for the link that you'll need). You'll need: Mom's Break Christmas stocking free printable (link shown below) Colored construction paper. kid-friendly scissors, glue stick (I like Elmer's), pencil small gift item (peppermint stick shown here)
	Cut out the Christmas stocking. Choose your child's initial, the first initial of everyone in your child's class...or G for Grandma! Trace around the Christmas stocking on the construction paper. This will make the back of the gift bag.
	Trim the construction paper.
	Run the glue stick around the edges of the construction paper Christmas stocking---but do not put glue on the very top of the stocking. When you put on the glue be sure to glue the side that will match to the back of the printed stocking (as shown here).
	Put a small gift inside! Don't put anything very big, bulky, or heavy in it. This Christmas stocking gift bag it is perfect for a few cellophane-wrapped candy canes, which makes a perfect gift for your child's schoolmates, or to give away at a children's Christmas party.
	This shows the back of the Christmas stocking gift bag. And by the way...Grandma will like this, too---especially when "I made it just for you, Grandma" by a treasured grandchild. Put a wallet-sized photo of this year's school picture inside! That makes a gift Grandma will treasure all year-round!
