Thanksgiving Break means Holidays soon! Meaningful Crafty Gifts Plan :)
Well, for all of us in college, Thanksgiving Break is almost here, which means….finals and the holiday season are almost upon us!!! Especially with the economic crunch around the world, what do you do for the holidays?
Well…for anyone crafty knows, the best thing for the holiday season is *dun dun dunn* crafts! It takes time, yes, but it’s so worthwhile and fun, as well as relaxing for you and meaningful for your recipient. I’ll be discussing over the next couple weeks some crocheting ideas, as well as some super easy and lovely sewing and other crafty concepts for gifts. They’re fun, cheap, and great to make extra juust in case someone not on your list decides to bless you with a gift.
Some topics I intend to cover–scarfs, gingerbread men, jewelry bags, and scented sacks. If I think of anything else, yeah I’ll definitely put it up! I might dig into my old embroidery basket and do some on making designs for kercheifs, aprons, pillow cases and the like.
Until then, leave comments and suggestions, as always.
Happy sewing!
(and welcome to Entrecard users!!)
I would love to see what you have for making designs for aprons. I am going to be sewing my first aprong soon (I was told it is a good beginners project) and would love to add some fun detail to it…or see what I could add to it if I learned how
Yay Entrecard! -just got one- XD And yay holidays!
Unfortunately I am unable to crochet, so I shall just look at your posts on those with envy.
I’m very interested in handmade gifts tho! Might make some to send to my overseas friends…
Also unfortunately, I’m horrible at ideas…lemme think. How about some innovative pouch/bag? Like..what’s your favourite easy-to-make bag? Recently I’ve given a few hand-made simple zippered/velcro bags out as gifts, they were surprisingly well-received. Everyone can use a spare pouch. ^^ Not -quite- a jewelry pouch, but a variant nonetheless….
