Bookmark--Free Snowman Felt Project from Craft Designer

What comes to mind when you think about the perfect gift? Is it something glamorous with a big price tag? Why do you seek out the perfect gift? Giving the perfect gift is a way of showing someone how much you care. Most of us have at least one person who seems to make giving the perfect gift impossible--regardless of your budget. The perfect gift doesn't have to be about the price tag. Some of the best gifts that Craft Designer has received were the ones that demonstrated that the person invested time and thought into the gift. Today's post from Craft Designer provides an option. You could select a book based on your knowledge of the person's interests and present it this charming Snowman Gift Bag along with the coordinating bookmark. To help you meet the perfect gift challenge, Craft Designer will send the template for this project to those who become followers and express interest in receiving the pattern.
