Last Minute Holiday Projects

December 18, 2008 by Francine Clouden

Yes, there is still time to get some holiay crafting done, still one week left! Here are a couple of cool ideas.

1. A tree made from a catalog, instructions from the Just Like Martha blog (by her daughter so cute!)

This is my version. Once made, I sprayed it with a fixative and dusted glitter all over it. Then I added a star to the top.

2. Matchbox hostess gifts from Creature Comforts

3. My sister altered a gift bag from the craft store, and made a matching card and gift card holder

You can see a similar idea by jennifer McGuire here

4. Cosmo Cricket has been posting Thrifty Gifty ideas on their blog. Scroll down a bit, they already have seven ideas posted!
