Handmade for Christmas {For the Kids}

Gingerbread Playdough. Love this idea! What a great way for your kids to "help" with Christmas baking without them actually playing with the cookie dough. I can imagine that it smells heavenly. Check out the recipe on The Sweet Adventures of Sugarbell.

Handmade for Christmas {For the Tree}

How clever are these Christmas ornaments? They would make a great hostess gift!! All you need are metal cookie cutters, festive paper, family photos and glue! If you wanted to add a little extra flair you can pick up some embellishments at the craft store and add them as well. Love it!

How sweet are these tea cup candles from Real Simple? Super easy to make!

Handmade for Christmas {For the Cook}

This is a perfect gift for that one person on your list that is super hard to buy for! (That would be my grandma.) Everyone can use pretty dish towels for their kitchen. Here are some great ideas.

If you are handy with a sewing machine,...these are great! Head over to Make Life Sweet for the tutorial.

You can also use prettydish towels to wrap up your gift! How cute is this wrapped cook book?

Works well as a hostess gift (bottle of wine) as well!

Handmade for Christmas {For the Shopper}

Have you ever seen something somewhere and said to yourself "Why didn't I think of that!?" When I ran across this idea, that is just what I thought! Easy peasy! I picked up a few canvas bags on sale last year that I wondered what to do with. So glad I kept them! Need to get on this! :) It is almost too pretty to carry groceries in though. Maybe use it as a library book tote instead? The uses would be endless! Head over to Under the Sycamore and see how it is done!

Handmade for Christmas {For the Trendsetter}

Tee-shirt scarfs and necklaces have been all the buzz this year. At one of my craft shows this year, I actually had a table next to a girl who made these. They are so easy to make! :) Here are some styles and links to tutorials to make your own!
