How To Make Drawstring Bags

In January, many declared 2020 to be the year of 20/20 vision. It would be the year to achieve dreams and thrive. Well, 2020 threw everyone for a loop! Who would have imagined being in quarantine for months on end. Instead of declaring clear vision, people now describe the future as being uncertain. 

Although we may not know what the future holds, we can be certain that God does know (Jeremiah 29:11). It’s important, more now than ever before, to draw into God’s presence! The Word of God reveals that if we draw near to God, He will draw near to us (James 4:8). Only God knows what the future holds. He can provide us with insight of what is to come and prepare us for it. However, we must be in a position to hear from Him. 

We can draw near to God by praying and fasting, reading and meditating on the Word of God, and worshipping Him. All will make us more receptive to hearing God when He speaks to us. 

Draw near to God. He holds the future in His hands!

In this do-it-yourself tutorial, I’ll show you how to make drawstring bags. Drawstring bags can be used to hold party favors and other small trinkets. Keep them for yourself or give them to a friend.
