Home Made & Manageable Holiday Gifting

There was a time when ideas for home made gifts were inspired by projects begun earlier in the year or from a magazine issue received in early fall.

Today we have the luxury of a plethora of ideas and inspiration, enhanced by step by step directions and even a video with stop-start options to guide us along the tricky segments.

This year the trend is banners, gift tags which are retained by the recipient for decorations or regifted the next year, quick food treats, and even cards with pop-up features.
