Dear readers,
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted some crafty projects to peruse, and with the holiday season coming up, now is a great time to start thinking about projects for holiday giving. I have several in mind that I’m starting to work on (I will share later on!), but there are literally thousands of easy projects out there that are creative, inexpensive, and fun. Enjoy!
You may not have bread, but there is always mail
I saw this idea on Design*Sponge awhile ago and since then, I have been on the hunt at Goodwill to find one of these. As the writer points out, however, you can usually find these antique toast holders on eBay – I would recommend checking out antique stores, as well. If you are in the present-making mode, I think pairing this with a stationary set, a book of stamps, and fancy pen makes for the perfect gift
Weighed Down?
Have I talked about how much I love Design*Sponge? This post especially 
blew me away, partly because of my love for Audubon prints. If you want to learn more about Audubon, this is the post to read! All the information is paired with a creative project that makes for a great gift. The Audubon paperweight is really easy to make AND you can substitute in any print you would like – who doesn’t appreciate a handmade, decorative paperweight as a gift? I’m thinking of making several of these this year.
You need a paperweight kit (I’m thinking you can also purchase these at local craft stores), your print, and a pair of scissors. Pretty darn easy!
What are you making for holiday gifts this year? Let us know and we will feature a compilation of readers’ idea on the blog!
