A couple of years ago, I made these dot-painted mugs from Martha Stewart as Christmas gifts. For this year, I've decided to do a little something else inspired by the monogram templates from this project (to be revealed when the gifts have been given!).
I've got a couple other ideas up my sleeve right now too, but again, all to be revealed in time.Instead I leave you with some gifts I've made for Christmases past (and other gift-giving occasions):
- Teacup candles (also here)
- Bed warmers (mine were filled with corn, but here's a similar idea)
- Decorated cookies
- Ribbon wrapped vase (not my original inspiration, but the same idea)
- Etched glass vases (tutorial here)
- Photo calendars (designed & printed at home/bound at Kinkos, but this is a fun idea too)
- Mosaic flower pots (I did these many moons ago so have no images of my own, but there's one tutorial here)
See this and other ideas here:
very cute idea!

All such fantastic ideas! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI am NOT a candle lover at all, but after seeing the teacup candles, I could really be converted - they are adorable!
ReplyDeleteAlso loved the ribbon wrapped vase.
I've made a couple of the bed warmers and our 4 yr old sleeps with it at least once a week. These are what I'll make for the kids' gift exchange at school, in fun kid print fabric.
Nice work!
Love your ideas! Thanks so much for sharing!
