Homemade Christmas

I want to make more gifts for people this year! I love the thought of a homemade gift, so I thought I'd share some of the ideas I've come across with you!

Kelly at Kelly's Korner made these cute ornaments last year...so simple and so cute! I might have to make some of these to go on our tree!
I love the idea of these coasters....Life in Grace has the tutorial to make these. You start with an unfinished tile from the hardware store...they're like 30 cents! I've seen these in little boutique shops for over $20. I have a feeling some of my family members and friends will be getting a homemade set of coasters this year! I think these would be cute with handprints or footprints on them...great idea for people with new babies!
I've also got a few more ideas up my sleeve, but I can't share those until after Christmas or I will spoil the surprise! I've been working a lot with the sewing machine! :)

Are you making homemade gifts for people this year? Please share your ideas! I don't have everyone crossed off of my list!

Hey Jill - I am trying to get creative too. I LOVE those 2 blogs you were referring to. Check out this post - I think I'll be doing this for some people! http://www.flythroughourwindow.com/2009/12/yesterday-rain-paint-butter-bruises/
Can't wait to see what you have sewn!

Michele, that butter looks fabulous! I think I'll be making a TON of that for myself, too!
