With so many fun things to make for the holidays, I’m posting some great ideas for giving a Handmade Holiday. Today’s Mama has done some research and found that many of you are cutting back the spending. If so, then hopefully some of these handmade ideas will help you save some pennies, while still giving fabulous gifts.
Here’s a few tutorials from the Make and Take files. These can be whipped up quick, seeing as how we have less than 2 weeks until Christmas.

Those quilts are a great idea. I’m starting to get quite the pile of scrap kid material so this might be just what I needed. Thanks!
I saw the tutorial on your site several months ago about the Scrabble tile pendants. I’ve been gathering up the supplies little by little since then(thanks to e-bay, mostly), and my friend and I sat down last night to work on them for the first time. It’s the best craft project we’ve ever done! They’re fun to make, and they look fantastic! Next year, I think we’re going to try selling them at craft shows. I don’t think the craze has caught on here yet, so I bet they’ll be good sellers. :) I’ll let you know when I put up pictures on my blog, but it won’t be until after Christmas, so I can make sure it’s a surprise!
I also loved your idea about giving homemade cookie dough as a gift, so I might do some of that, too.
Thanks, Marie! Keep up the good work.
Hey Marie, we must think a like. I love these wonderful handmade goodies to share with others. I made the art cases for my kids to take to church and they were so cute and EASY that for our handmade Christmas for the cousins I just finished making 8 of these. I love to make and receive handmade gifts, these are the ones that take time from me to show others I love them! Thanks for sharing.
I really need to make a fun, easy, Chritmasy craft with my kids. I love your pipe ornaments. Do you have any other ideas?!?!
Aww, thanks SO much! I’m totally honored to me mentioned in such crafty company!
Nice tutorial, really great things to do when you’re on holiday. How about paper clay? do you have any tutorial for it?
