Gift Idea for Teachers

I am helping my kids make a few of these for their teachers and friends and thought if anyone else needed an idea....this might work!

This is the message on the card:
We tried to find a stocking
but we couldn't find a spare....
So we ended up stuffing
Santa's red underwear!! 

Supplies needed:
2 pieces of red felt (which will give you 2 Santa's)
3 white pom poms (per Santa)
Hot glue / gun 
Green string for tying a bow
Sewing Machine ( you could hand stitch it too)

Cut out your Santa underwear and then sew together all the way around EXCEPT for the neckline.  This will be your opening to stuff your favorite holiday treat.  Glue on the pom poms, stuff the underwear and then thread the yarn from the back to the front and tie it off into a bow.  Print off  the little saying and attach to underwear with a small safety pin. (or you could punch a hole in the corner of the paper and thread your string through it before tying it off.)


*** If you want the underwear pattern, I can email you my hand drawn copy  that I have.
