Okay, I know it's a LITTLE early, but I am gearing up for Christmas and I thought I'd start a tag to get everyone's creative juices flowing. I will not include actually tagging others since I'm not sure I have very many reading my blog lately; I've been too sporadic :)
Rules: If you're reading this, consider yourself tagged! Leave your name in the comments of my blog so that we know where to find more ideas and then, on your own blog, list 5 homemade gifts, trying to avoid duplicating what others have already posted. When instructions for the gift are needed/helpful, then please include links or general directions. Happy Crafting!!
1. picture cubes - start with four 1" blocks and six pictures; cut the pictures down to 3" blocks and then into four equal parts; glue the four blocks together into a cube and then glue your picture squares onto the faces of each block; decoupage (sp?) over the whole thing!
2. old-fashioned monkey doll - go here for step-by-step directions, but it's a monkey doll made out of one pair of men's socks!
3. scented jelly jars - 1 bottle of liquid potpouri brought to a boil on the stove; add 1 envelope of Knox unflavored gelatin; pour into jars and allow to set; decorate up the jars and gift away!
4. kitchen angel - go here for directions; one dish rag, dish towel, and pot holder folded up and tied with ribbons to make an angel; includes cute poem to accompany this kitchen decoration.
5. tukaway tote - go here for the pattern, which must be purchased for $9; this is a new take on the quillows that were so very popular a while back in that the bag folds up into an outside pocket!
