Instructions:

Dish Detergent Container:
Add Eucalyptus branches and glass round beads as desired then add clear dish detergent. Keep in mind that the red colored eucalyptus tends to bleed.

Jingle Bell Wreath:
Thread wire through jingle bell top and secure both ends together and wrap ribbon on top for bow. Can be hung on a door handle.

Rice Bags:
Cut fabric to desired size; rectangle or square. Pin right sides together and sew three of the four sides, leaving the top open to fill with rice or beans. Fill bag and hand stitch closed. Keep in mind that you don’t want to fill the bag all the way full, fill between half and three-fourths full.
*you can add essential oils to the rice BEFORE you add the rice to the bags.

Felt Stockings:
Cut out two small stockings (both facing the same direction). Place stockings on top of each other and blanket stitch around the edges keeping the top open till the very last. Don’t stitch the top together! I used the Cricut and the Joy of the Seasons cartridge to cut out a Christmas tree and snowflakes which I then used the Designer Dries Clear glue and the Designer Ultra Fine glitter to decorate. The glitter will stick to the felt so keep in mind that if you have a white stocking you will want to add glitter to your piece then Mod Podge it to the stocking. With the snowflakes I Mod Podged them to the stocking then added glue and glitter and shock off remaining glitter.
