What homemade gifts are you making this year?
(Just looking for ideas and seeing the creativity out there) :-)
I'm thinking of making a dry erase board and some fabric covered cork bulletin board for my Mom to organize her office
Re: Homemade Gifts
I'm making a 'travel wallet' for DH, to hold his e-ticket, passport and ID.
I think we are dyeing napkin sets for our siblings and their spouses. I have been wanting to play with some dyeing techniques and I think the intended recipients would appreciate and use them.
I think I am giving snowmen ornaments made from wire, big beads and felt (the brim of the hat), but it depends on whether or not I sell any at a holiday boutique this weekend. I don't know if I will make more, so if I sell them, I may come up with a different ornament to give away.
Stand up for something you believe in.
I making coasters. I bought some 4x4 tiles and will cover in scrapbook paper. I also bout some 6x6 tiles and will cover those in scrapbook paper. I will give them and people can use them as a big coaster or set a spoon or something on.
I am making some picture canvases. Taking a picture and putting it on a canvas.
I saw these ideas on Pinterest and hope they turn out good.
I'm not making much this year. A couple blankets for my kids, some ornaments and this candle mat for my mom:

Cute - I love that!
I tried to do the picture canvases and it was a big fail. I kept ripping the tissue paper. That is why I went with the coasters for a couple people.
