KRG Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Dh & I are making #2 a busy board. I have started and hope to finish a stick horse for him also. I had all kinds of homemade ideas for everyone but I am out of steam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkacademy Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 I really need to learn to sew!! I decided this year that the kids would each buy a small gift for each other and then make one. If it's not paper I am not crafty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remudamom Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 For my nieces and nephews I make big boxes of reindeer kisses and send one to each family. I make some for the kids too! My family tells me it's really Christmas when the candy arrives! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget-Me-Not Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I'm making some homemade hot fudge sauce for DHs co-workers. Other than that, this year, nothing because I am very pregnant and very tired :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angela in GA Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I knitted a Gap-tastic Cowl for my hidden honey at church. Too bad I didn't take a picture of it before I gave it to her. Hmph. I've also knitted a Ruffle Scarf for a friend, and have another on the needles for my sister-in-law. I've knitted a pair of Bella mittens for one dd. Need to make a pair for other dd, but not sure if I'll have time. I want to make Boot Candy for both of the girls as well. I'll be making cookie plates for dh's soldiers. Homemade hot fudge sauce sounds like a great idea. Maybe have to contemplate that one. Oh, I almost forgot...I'm canning some homemade chili, soup, etc. all made with moose meat for my brother. He's an avid hunter, so I'm hoping he will love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa in SC Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Ds 6 is the only homemade gift recipient this Christmas. We're making a fort kit from PVC pipe and connectors and will include cool sheets for covering. We're also making a version of a cardboard fort someone posted here from pinterest. We're changing it some by using two refrigerator boxes cut and joined with a pitched roof. I'll be covering it with some type of nifty paper sealed for durability, then we're poking tiny holes in the roof to insert individual Christmas lights so the interior will be lit. That's it on the homemade gifts this year. I had a much longer list, but it's not happening this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane in NC Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 To the OP: is a video that will walk you through making a pillowcase--easy, peasy first sewing project. Maybe use some holiday fabric? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anmom Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Most all of our gifts are handmade this year! I am making 2 of these mobile dollhouses, but one as a barn for 2 nieces http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=ywgVQILSFW0&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DywgVQILSFW0 Plush angry birds for my kids who love them! I am trading some scrapbook supplies I already had with a friend who is making dd doll clothes. A pillow for each. Peg doll princess's and super hero's.

StaceyinLA Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 We did a bunch of hand and fingerprint ornaments with dgs for dd to give as gifts to his grandparents/great-grandmas. I made a calendar and 2 books on Shutterfly if that counts. Oh, and my Christmas cards! I'm making some crock-pot roasted pecans to put in little wide-mouth mason jars. I'm gonna top them with cute fabric squares and tie jute around them. Those will be my random gifts for everyone I need to give a little something too. Nothing else, as I'm really NOT crafty!
