What are YOU making for Christmas?
My family doesn't really celebrate Christmas since we are Buddhist but we still put up Christmas trees and cut wonderful cakes.
So this Christmas I thought maybe I could be the secret Santa ! I was thinking of a Christmassy gift basket for every family member.
Guava scented sugar scrub, chocolate covered spoons, terrarium. . . But I don't think my basket will be all filled any other DIY ideas?
Fire Starters for my friends who camp or have fireplaces. It's "expected" of me now... lol. I save stuff all year to make them.

I also make Home Made Liquors for my really, really good friends. ;)
I'm making a full apron for my sister and a super hero neck tie for her husband. I'm also making a star trek apron for my boyfriend and a few little stocking stuffers that are yet to be determined for my son.
I'm making my friend a purse out of playing cards, because she loves the joker. I'm also making her a cute pair of kitty shoes 'cause she's a crazy cat lady.
P.S I'm a Buddhist to Buddha buddy, but I celebrate christmas
I am making rag rugs out of t-shirts. so far I have made 25 and have 5 more to go. I have also made my 1st pair of slippers and beanies, to give out. oh, yea, I have been making a few scarfs (crochet) also.
am trying to stay out of trouble, lol.
These are such great ideas, in fact it inspired me to have an entire DIY Christmas! Anyone with me??? I love the terrarium idea but for some reason I manage to kill every terrarium I've ever had. I am a great gardener though I promise!
ANYWHO I drew this for a friend and I plan on framing it for his Christmas gift

The terrarium and fire starters sounds like a good idea, though perhaps I can only put those in my boyfriend's parents' house. my apartment is way too small and doesn't have a fireplace, only a heater. Since I really love my new hat from Suzanne (kiddo) and so does my friends and my boyfriend's little sister - I think I'm also gonna make some hats for gifts. instead of socks they can also be filled with candies, and of course much more useful than oversized socks
you could paint mugs with china painting pens
A DIY Christmas... Love the idea. I'm in for as much as I have time to do and will commit to a full DIY Christmas next year!
Pink Weeds: I want to see those aprons. I LOVE aprons and have two I'm working on. Please share!
I am also going to make photo ornaments for my mom for Christmas. just insert a small photograph into a clear ball ornament and add whatever filler you want!
I'm going to probably make a loom-knit hats for a few people, as well as some soaps and stationery kits... possibly vodka infusions if I have time/money.
I have a friend who's moving back to Hawaii at the end of the semester so I will probably make him a big stationery kit so he can write to people back in South Dakota.
