Homemade Christmas gifts don't have to be cheap or time consuming to be meaningful. Here's a few quick and easy homemade gifts.
Professional shots of your children don't come cheap, so instead of handing them out to everyone you meet, frame those photos and give them as gifts. To make it more personal and give them a homemade, buy cheap or unfinished frames and finish them to match the recipients home decor.
Handmade tree ornaments can be as simple or complex as you want them to be. The kids can help or you can make them on your own. Nobody ever has enough ornaments and the handmade ones are always the most cherished.
Eighteen inch dolls are all the rage for little girls these days but the cost of the furniture is shocking to say the least. Ana-White.com is a fabulous website that breaks down building doll furniture into such simple steps that even if you've never worked with wood before, you can make stunning doll furniture.
Christmas decor is a great gift and wreaths are super easy to make. Hit the craft store for a foam wreath base and decorate it anyway you choose--try artificial greenery, ribbons or candies. Use your favorite search engine to find some great ideas.
Mason jars filled with baking ingredients for your favorite cookies and other baked goods make fun gifts. Measure out all dry ingredients, layering them to make a nice pattern (brown sugar, white sugar, chocolate chips, flour for example). Top the jars with pretty fabric and ribbon and include a card with directions on how to finish the cookies! It's decorative and useful!
