Have you checked out Sandee\u2019s lastest Handmaking the Holidays post<\/a> or Melissa\u2019s tutorial for a DIY photo canvas<\/a>? If you haven\u2019t, head over there to check them out\u2026 after you read my post though\u2026<\/p>\n

\nWe\u2019ve got one more week of Handmaking the Holidays, and I hope you\u2019ll stick around to see what we\u2019ve got planned!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I know a lot of people out there are saying I can\u2019t make that. Or think that people don\u2019t like to get homemade gifts. Or the one that I worry about- that homemade gifts are too small- like physically small. Is that weird? Anyway, I get it, but I think that if you were to question the majority of people that you are buying gifts for, they will say that handmade means more. And it\u2019s not the size that counts. Every now and then, you\u2019ll have the one person who won\u2019t appreciate a handmade item- to me, that just means you need to change their mind, by showing how the gift was really personalized for them, or tastes so much better, or is of a lot better quality\u2026.<\/p>\n

\nI like to sew most of the gifts that I make, but that excludes a lot of people who don\u2019t sew- so I\u2019ve tried to round up a wide variety of gift ideas here so that there\u2019s something for everyone!<\/p>\n

\n It\u2019s almost crunch time, so here are a bunch of ideas that don\u2019t take a long time to get ready\u2026.<\/p>\n


\nCheck out this fancy jar of Bath Salts<\/a> from See Vanessa Craft!<\/p>\n

\nHere are some fun tile coasters<\/a> from The Cottage Home- I\u2019ve made these before and they are a lot of fun. Try looking at your local ReStore for really inexpensive tiles!<\/p>\n


\nThese Clothespin magnets<\/a> from Crafting and Creativity are really fun and useful. If the poms aren\u2019t your style, here\u2019s a tutorial for some with glitter<\/a>, or here\u2019s some with scrapbook paper<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nThese Handy Coasters<\/a> from Spoonful are super cute and would be a great memory of how small your kiddo\u2019s hand was, once.<\/p>\n


\nSugar Scrubs<\/a> from The Idea Room are great for your skin, and recipients will think that it takes a lot of work! It will be your little secret just how easy this tutorial is.<\/p>\n

\nGot a coffee lover on your list? Make them a Cup Cozy<\/a> from Crafty Staci for their to-go cup!<\/p>\n


\nChocolate Dipped Pretzels<\/a> are super easy and delicious!<\/p>\n

\nWhat about kids? Here are some cute super hero etched glasses<\/a> glasses from I Am Momma Hear Me Roar. (Tip: If you don\u2019t have a machine to make a vinyl stencil, you can use contact paper. And you don\u2019t have to be limited to super heroes\u2026 what other designs can you etch?)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How about these yarn ball bookmarks<\/a> for the bookworms on your list? I know I\u2019m always looking for new bookmarks.<\/p>\n

\nI love these fabric covered boxes<\/a> from Martha Stewart, what a fun gift for crafters or collectors\u2026 or anyone\u2026.<\/p>\n


\nOk, this one involves sewing, but how about a pincushion from a mayo jar lid<\/a> for your favorite sewist, from me!<\/p>\n

\nHow about a project bag<\/a> for your favorite knitter or crocheter? That one is also from me!<\/p>\n

\nOh my goodness there are soooo many handmade gift ideas out there. Look up your specialty and find some cool ideas. Or try something new this year! There are so many ideas out there that I didn\u2019t even touch on! And take a look at my free tutorials<\/a> page for even more ideas!<\/p>\n
