Santa Mail Gift Bag and Elf Activity

Santa Mail Gift Bag

Y’all like them or not, your elves are about to come back for their annual visit from the North Pole! I have to admit, we never had an elf in our house, but my sweet niece and nephew do, and I have been busy coming up with some fun ideas for Elf visits!

My sister and I love Santa Mail gift bags for larger hard to wrap holiday gifts. But they can sometimes be a little expensive, and if you are a last minute kind of wrapper like my sister, they are hard to find! However, my son is a gifted artist, and I have insanely patient friends {Hey, Let’s Make Stuff, I’m looking at you} that help me step by step with seemingly endless questions, so I can create amazing SVG files! I am so in love with this cut file, it’s great for the big hard to wrap gifts, and with the help of my Cricut and EasyPress 2, I can make several in just a few minutes.

As I was cleaning up my craft area the other day, I found a few extra small bags and thought how stinking cute they would be as Santa Mail bags for the elves to carry candies for the little ones!

After you purchase the SVG, upload it to Cricut Design Space, and size it to fit your bag. I made the cut file about 2.5″ for the elf bags. Send the image to cut. {Don’t forget to mirror the image and place the Iron On on the mat shiny side down}

Weed the excess Iron On, and follow Cricut’s recommended guidelines for pressing.
