Crafting Christmas

I have a fake tree that I am going to decorate with charms.



I am making my chocolate truffle soaps and chocolate cheesecake soap for my co workers

for my other friends, mated and framed pictures I took

Maybe a crafty wreath themed around whoever is recieving the gift's interests...like this wreath, for example: http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/vintage-haberdashery-wreath

Seems like a good idea! If it is Christmas themed, you may want to give it out early so it can actually get some use, but if it was something someone could hang up and keep up all the time, then they could appreciate the gift all year long! =)

How about this?! =D

Decorative, functional year-round, and recycled!

These are really cute ideas!

also going to make some paper garlands. I am excited

I made a paper garland last year. ;) I can't wait to see your yarn-wrapped wreath! I have a picture in my head already, lol. ;)

I just added it, hope it gets posted soon

Hello everyone.
I decided to go with a handmade Christmas this year too. I'm making holiday themed bookmarks for the book lovers, chocolates for the little sweeties, knitted beanies for the balding members of the famiy and holiday colored leg warmers for my mom and aunt. An tiny tree oranments for my tiny Christmas tree.

Last year up until the 22nd of december I was away at university so my roomate and I decided to decorate our appartment as of december 1st because if not it's too depressing! So what we did was make a TON of paper snowflakes and we put them all over our windows and walls. We even taped a few to the inside of our curtains so that when it was night time and our curtains where closed we could still see them. We also hung some from the ceiling. It was a recycled-winter wonderland.
