We are loving our Homemade Holidays circle (started by the amazing Brandie), a conversation that has inspired us SO many times through the last few years with awesome ideas. Homemade Holidays has in fact made both of us focus most of our holiday giving on handmade presents, which has added a wonderful element (and A LOT OF WORK) to the holidays.
This year we are loving Japanese Washi masking tape. It is cool and easy for kids to make great presents:
Here are a couple goodies by Cooper's 6 year old. So fun!
Old books from Goodwill make GORGEOUS gifts (not too hard to do, a little time consuming)
What are you making this year? We need ideas! In the meantime -- Happy Homemade Holidays!!!!!!
Awesome ideas! Thanks for sharing these!

These are great! One of the Ranger Rick staffer's came up with some great homemade gifts/decorations that you can make with your kids: http://www.nwf.org/News-and-Magazines/National-Wildlife/Outdoors/Archives/2010/Simple-Holiday-Crafts.aspx

I am going to make a few people some sets of wool dryer balls! Easy to make and saves you so much money in dryer sheets b/c they never wear out.... Also no residues... hmmm I should blog about this! :)
