Quick Make: Christmas Present Decoration | Beginner Video Tutorial

Stitch a speedy Christmas decoration in minutes with our follow-along video tutorial.

About the project

Super quick to make and an excellent stashbuster, this Christmas present decoration is a great last-minute make. It's also super versatile – add a hanging loop to make a tree decoration, use it as a festive pin cushion or just create one present, add a tag and tie it to a gift for a loved one!

What skill level is this sewing pattern?

This is a beginner-friendly 'quick make' and shouldn't take you more than 30 minutes to stitch!

Debbie's Top Tips

  1. Add a little bit of Best Press or spray starch to help your presents hold their rectangular shape.
  2. Make sure to pinch the edges of the presents as you iron them, this will also help aid in keeping their shape.
  3. What do I make next?

    There are now plenty of other Christmas projects choose from. If you're looking for more speedy makes try our fabric baubles – they'll pair perfectly with your new decor. These cutlery holders are perfect for adding an extra touch that will wow your guests. We've even got a Christmas present stack cushion to try that you can bring out year after year alongside this project! These all make excellent gifts too and can be made at the last minute!
