Tutorial: DIY felt gift pouches for reusable gift wrap

Alice & Lois show how you can whip up a cute little felt pouch, perfect for gifting a pair of earrings or other small (but large) present. It’ll take you all of about 5 minutes to make these, as there’s no hemming and no closure required. The felt won’t fray, and the pouch is held shut with seams down the sides. You can reuse them year after year. Or, spend an evening sewing up 25 of them and use them for an Advent calendar next year.
