To make a sweater for wine bottle and mitten sacks you will need:

- yarn ribbon for finishing edges (at will)
- felt for applique or ready-made felt decor.

The recipe of ginger cookies:
- 6 glasses of flour (I used 3 glasses of white flour and 3 glasses of wholegrain flour, they say the worse is flour for ginger cookie - the better;)
- 200 g of the softened butter of room temperature;
- 1 glass of sugar (I used brown sugar, for aroma and color, you can also use white sugar);
- 1 glass (340 g) of dark treacle (dark maltose syrup). If you do not find it in store, you may replace it with either light treacle or maltose syrup, or with honey, but in this case also replace 50 g of flour with cocoa, for darker color. Dark treacle gives to ginger cookies a beautiful "suntanned" color;.
- 3 eggs;
- 1 tea spoon of soda;
- 1 teaspoon of salt;
- spices. The initial recipe said 1 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1 teaspoon of carnation and 2 teaspoons of ground ginger. I always feel that spices are not enough)))) so I add more, to make really spicy taste. I used 3 tsps of ginger, 2 tsps of nutmeg, cinnamon, cardamom and 1 tsp of a carnation and allspice pepper. You can vary structure of spices depending on what you have at home and what taste you love more.
For a tea fir-tree you will need a thin flexible cardboard for a fir-tree cone, crepe paper of any color and the glue gun.
