Up your gift game with these crochet bottle gift bags. You can make this bag with just one hour of your time and a 50g ball of cotton yarn.
These bags are reusable over and over again so you’ll never need to buy a paper bottle bag again!
This pattern is beginner friendly and I have a full YouTube tutorial to help!
