Crochet pattern - "Santa" gift packaging 

Merry Christmas

Christmas is the celebration of love, not to mention ...the gifts ..... and these are usually beautifully wrapped.

With the self-crocheted "Santa" gift packaging, you give your gifts that special flair.

The "Santa" bottle cover turns a bottle of wine or sparkling wine into something special. You are not just giving a bottle, but lots of heart and love.

 There is also the matching "Santa" gift bag. This will especially delight little princesses, as it can also be used as an unusual handbag after the holidays.

Both gift packages are shown and explained in detail in the PDF pattern and are fairly quick to crochet. 

Even beginners will have no problems with them. They use little material, so you can also use up suitable leftover yarn.

Make your gifts something unique with the "Santa" gift packaging.
