Looking for a quick, easy and inexpensive Christmas craft fair idea? 🎄
I’ve got a lovely little project to share with you today, and it’s one that’s perfect for batch making, Christmas craft fairs, stocking fillers or simply giving someone a thoughtful little treat.
These cute Christmas Horlicks gift packs are so simple to put together, but I think they look absolutely adorable!
Sometimes it’s the simplest papercraft projects that make the loveliest gifts, don’t you think?
A Little Gift to Warm Someone’s Heart
For this project, I’ve taken individual sachets of Horlicks, added a little wooden spoon and presented them on a festive backing made using some beautiful Christmas patterned paper.
I’ve chosen a traditional holly design featuring rich greens and pops of red, which gives these little gifts a lovely festive feel.
To finish them off, I’ve added some cute holly and berry embellishments made from coordinating cardstock.
Everything is tucked neatly into a clear cellophane bag, keeping the contents together while allowing the pretty handmade packaging to shine through.
It’s such a simple idea, but the finished result looks really effective!
Why These Are Perfect for Christmas Craft Fairs
If you’ve ever prepared for a craft fair, you’ll know how useful it is to have a selection of smaller, affordable items on your stall.
Not everyone is looking for a large handmade gift, and sometimes customers just want a little something for a friend, colleague, neighbour or teacher.
These Horlicks gift packs would be ideal because they’re:
- Quick and easy to make – perfect for creating several at once.
- Budget-friendly – using just a small amount of cardstock and patterned paper.
- Easy to personalise – simply change the colours, papers or embellishments.
- Lightweight and easy to display – great for craft fair tables.
- Lovely little gifts – perfect for Christmas stockings, thank-you presents or festive treats.
I especially love projects like these because you can make quite a few in one crafting session without needing lots of complicated supplies.
If you’re making them to sell, remember to keep the original product packaging and ingredient information visible, and check any applicable food labelling requirements.
What You’ll Need
You don’t need a huge amount of crafting supplies to put these together.
Here’s a basic list:
- Individual sachets of Horlicks
- Wooden spoons
- Cardstock for your backing
- Christmas Designer Series Paper
- Small pieces of coordinating cardstock for embellishments
- Holly leaf and berry punches, dies or hand-cut shapes
- Clear cellophane bags
- Adhesive
You can also add a little Christmas greeting or gift tag if you fancy!
How to Make Your Own Christmas Gift Packs
These are wonderfully straightforward to assemble.
Step 1 – Prepare your backing
Cut a piece of cardstock to fit inside your cellophane bag, making sure it’s large enough to support your Horlicks sachet and wooden spoon.
Step 2 – Add your patterned paper
Decorate the backing with your favourite festive Designer Series Paper.
I used a lovely holly pattern for mine, but you could use Christmas trees, snowflakes or any coordinating festive design.
Step 3 – Arrange your goodies
Position the Horlicks sachet and wooden spoon on the backing.
You can add a coordinating paper band to help hold everything in place.
Step 4 – Add your festive decorations
Decorate with some little cardstock holly leaves and berries.
This is a brilliant way to use up those smaller cardstock scraps we all seem to collect!
Step 5 – Package everything
Carefully slide your finished project into a clear cellophane bag and seal it.
And that’s it – a cute little handmade Christmas gift ready to give away or display at your craft fair!
Make Them Your Own!
Although I’ve used Horlicks for this project, you could easily adapt the idea to create different little gift packs.
Why not try using hot chocolate sachets, coffee sachets or individually wrapped tea bags?
You could even make a selection of different designs and create a lovely little display on your craft fair table.
I think they’d be especially cute with a little tag saying:
“A Little Something to Warm You Up!” ☕
Or perhaps:
“Sending You a Cosy Christmas Hug!” ❤️
There are so many possibilities!
Simple Projects Can Be Just as Special
One thing I always try to encourage is that crafting doesn’t need to be complicated or expensive to be enjoyable.
You don’t need lots of fancy equipment to create something thoughtful, and sometimes a simple project like this is exactly what we need.
Whether you’re a beginner trying your hand at handmade gifts or an experienced crafter preparing for a Christmas fair, these little gift packs are a lovely project to have a go at.
And they’re a great excuse to use up some of your favourite Christmas papers!
