Anyone else feeling the pressure of the holidays? Shopping, baking, organizing, decorating, more shopping. It’s overwhelming!!
I know the idea of making a gift might seem like a crazy one to a lot of you but I’ve gathered up twenty of the easiest, sweetest projects that anyone can do! I promise! They don’t take a lot of time or cost a lot of money. Make it even easier – and create a few of the same things and give them to different people on your list. Or personalize a pillow or art for that special someone. Several of them can be paired with something you buy at a store too. The bonus is that when you receive a handmade gift, it’s extra special and thoughtful. Try one and you’ll see! Some of these projects are from me and some are great ideas I found on the web. But they’re all awesome! Click on the links below each image to go to the original source for the full DIY instructions.

And if you still need a unique gift that can be used all year round – I have a few 2016 watercolor calendars left for sale. They’re $18 each. I hand painted an image for each month and printed them on a pretty white card stock. Each month has it’s own 5 x 7″ card that can be displayed in a frame or use the included magnetic clip to attach it to any metal surface. Or, make the fabric covered frame I included above and attach!
I'd love to hear your comments!
