Finishing Touches
Ch 40 to make a tie for the bag. Weave it in and out of the sts on the 11th rnd and pull tight but leave a little opening to put presents on top. Fill the bag with stuffing and decorate the top of the bag. I used little mini present ornaments I got from the dollar store. You might be able to find them at Walmart or any craft store as well.
Optional Decoration
You can just place the ornament in the tree or you can add a loop for hanging. For a loop, I would suggest ch 30 and add to the ornament.
