Homemade Christmas Gifts – 15 Gifts to Make and Give
I hate to rain on your Halloween and Thanksgiving parade, but there are only 52 days until Christmas!
[countdown]
For those of us who make the majority of the Christmas gifts that we give away this is a huge wake up call. I know I’m going to have to work pretty much every day on something. It’s a little overwhelming. But if I’ve learned anything from watching 14 seasons of Project Runway, it’s that anything can be made on a tight budget. (Especially, if you have a room full of industrial machines and a kid-free zone. HA!) Make it work!
I wanted to share some great ideas for homemade Christmas gifts to give to your favorite people this season. Most sane people probably aren’t trying to make a gift for every person on their list so it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. In fact it can be quite relaxing and a fantastic way to get into the holiday spirit. Just turn on a cheesy Hallmark holiday movie and get making.

Thanks for the great ideas. I will definitely be using a couple of these. Now I just need a kid-free zone to get it all done :). I can’t believe it’s less than 2 months until Christmas!
