The holidays are quickly coming, and I can’t be any happier because between Thanksgiving and Christmas are the most fun and festive times of the year for our family. We love decorating the house, making gingerbread houses, baking cookies and counting down the days until the big guy comes to visit.  Ziploc® Brand products makes this easier and more convenient for me. They can be picked up at Walmart with all of your other shopping needs this holiday season.

 

I use the Ziploc® Brand large rectangle Snap ‘n Seal containers to store all of my cookies after I bake them. I find that they are the perfect size for a batch of cookies.

 

Have a look at these great DIY ideas that are simple to create that use Ziploc® Brand products in a creative and imaginative way and “Use as Imagined™”.

 

We make cookies every year but sometimes I do not have time to make them from scratch so I use Ziploc® Brand Easy Open Tab quart size storage bags to pipe frosting onto a store bought cookie.

 

Sandwich with another cookie and roll in festive sprinkles.

 

 

They make a great gift and boy do I have a cute way to top a Ziploc® Brand medium square holiday container.

 

Gnome Topped Ziploc® Brand containers

 

Materials

12” square fur

1 old pair of pantyhose

Batting or cotton balls

Small rubber bands

Wool sock or Old sweater

Hot glue gun

 

Directions

  1. Take the foot of pantyhose and fill it with a small amount of batting or cotton balls.

  1. Wrap a small rubber band around the end to make a ball- this will be the nose.

  2. Cut a piece of the fur into a triangle to make the beard.

  1. Use a sock or sleeve of an old sweater and wrap a rubber band around the end  to make a pointy hat – the end will hang down.

 

  1. Arrange and assemble the items on the lid of the Ziploc® Brand square Holiday container.

  2. Use a hot glue gun and attach. You can add a pom pom to the end of the hat if you would like.

 

You can fill these Ziploc® Brand medium square Holiday containers with cookies or candies and give them as gifts to friends, colleagues or teachers. They are so cute and I really think the personality of these gnomes really makes these gifts spectacular. I filled mine with the easy cookie sandwiches that I made earlier.

 

 

If you do not have time to make the gnomes, simply tie on a gift bow and add a gift tag and you are all set. I added two free printable gift tags for you to use that makes gift giving even more convenient.
