DIY Holiday Gift Guide, Vol. 1

I'm always featuring clever little crafty ideas that I've found from crafty blogs and I decided to do so now, for the holiday season, in a more organized fashion. From time to time I'll post a guide to some DIY gifts for the holidays. I hope to be able to get to making these ideas as gifts this year, but there's always that issue of time. I need A Couple More Hours in each and every day. It's so true.

I present to you, the first DIY Gift Guide! {If you end up making one of these things, please let me know! And likewise for me too - I'll let you know if I get around to making any of these things!} This year, pledge to go HANDMADE! Either make gifts yourself, or buy gifts from crafty types! Do it!


Plush gnomes! Perfect for your holiday decor! I want to make a gnome that looks like Arlene. Turns out my brother was a gnome for Halloween too. I'm thinking he needs a stuffed gnome for Christmas, yes indeed.


Memory Game Tutorial - how absolutely cute, and it sounds like it couldn't be easier. I'm thinking it would work with fabric too!


Fabric door stop - Now, when you think Christmas gift ideas, you think, doorstop! don't you? Yeah, me neither. But think about it for a minute - we all could use a door stop! And a clever little fabric doorstop?! Even better! Perhaps someone on your gift list could use a door stop. If so, make them one!


Fabric Bracelet Tutorial - Another really simple idea, from the same craftster of the memory game above.
