Tutorial: Drawstring Santa sack for Christmas toy donations

Susan from Organized 31 created this large Santa sack to hold the toys her daughter is donating to a needy child this Christmas. She shares a tutorial showing how. Most organizations who take up toy donations request that the presents not be wrapped. Her Santa sack makes a magical presentation but also allows the organization to open it up to see what’s inside and perhaps wrap the presents themselves. If you are donating to a family this Christmas, a Santa sack like this one is not much work for someone who knows how to sew and adds a thoughtful finishing touch to your donation.
