needlepoint giftPlanning is the key if handmade gifts are going to work for both giver & receiver. The best place to start is to use the talents that you have. Of course, if you get really organised & have the inclination you could learn a new skill so that you can use it to make some Christmas gifts. Here are some ideas just to get you started:

A hand knitted scarf

A family cookbook

A memory scrapbook

shabby chic gift broochBeaded jewellery

A customised vintage photo frame

Herb & dried flower soaps

A papier mache bowl

A handbound notebook

tie-dyed giftA tie-dyed T-shirt

A shabby-chic fabric brooch

A felt purse

A cotton shopping bag

A hand-decorated glass vase

Bath salts & bath tea

A personalised family calendar

The list goes on & on...  In time we hope to provide you with lots of detailed instructions on different projects but in the meantime check your local library or bookshops for craft books with loads of good ideas to try. The web is also obviously a great resource - the Craftster forum is a particularly fantastic place with loads of good ideas & lots of support.
