Handmake Your Holidays

December 10, 2008 by Francine Clouden

Today we’re celebrating Handmade Holidays on the Craft Gossip Network! This year, it seems most people, myself included, are committing to to either hand making their ornaments and gifts, or buying handmade items from sources such as Etsy.

I’ve scored the web and come up with a whole bunch of sites that have taken this idea and run with it.

The Go.Be Creative team is running a Handmade for the Holidays Series, including Hanukkah projects!

The team over at Tarisota are posting daily holiday recipes

Find creative ideas for cash gift envelopes at Papertrey Ink

Melissa Goodsell of Day to Day is running a month of Handmade Christmas. Also check out the similar posts she did last year.
