Has anyone else been thrown a curveball this month? Us too. Things have felt frenzied and, at times, exhausting. It’s like everything accelerates right before it slows to a screeching halt. Christmas can sometimes feel a little odd for us, and it’s certainly not perfect, if not bittersweet. I think that’s why I’m always drawn to handmade ideas at Christmas time. I’m reminded about the people who really matter, and I’m grateful for where we are. Something about creating with hands can feel cathartic and rewarding, and it’s so lovely to be able to escape. So today I thought I’d share a few easy ideas if you’re ready to escape into your home for the winter, or need a few last-minute ideas for gifts, parties and more: Handmade Ideas for the Holidays!

1. Handmade Ideas for the Holidays: Gift Ideas to Make Now. 
Check it all out here, but we have frames, necklaces, earrings, keychains, spa ideas, ornaments, and more! Perfect for winter crafting, too. We love these fun ideas!

2. Handmade Ideas for the Holidays: 5 Simple Baked Goodies to Make Now. 
Last minute party coming up and you don’t want to show up empty handed? I’m two seconds away from making those simple cake cookies again, and the homemade bread is already mixed with my starter, and ready to go! Be sure to check it all out, here. 

Bonus: We shared our Hot Chocolate Bar earlier this week, but don’t miss it! Such an easy set up and fun for kiddos, too. 

3. Handmade Ideas for the Holidays: Christmas Crafts to Make Now

It’s been a few days of round-ups but we wanted you to have them all in one place, since the year is winding down. What are you making this holiday season? We’d love to hear. 

Have an inspired day!
