What kind of skills and special talents do you have? That is a good question this time of year when it comes to alternative gift giving. Here are some homemade suggestions from the students of the sustainable class I am teaching. These range from needing special skills to ones anyone can complete.
Basket
Birdhouse, wood carving, simple piece of furniture, picture frame or any other woodworking project
Candles-you can find "how-to" instructions on the internet for these
Friendship bracelets
Handmade quilts, clothing, doll or Barbie clothes, dress-up clothes for children or any other sewing project
Tied Fleece Blankets-instructions on internet and very simple to make
Homemade bath salts (easy and great recipes on internet)
Homemade dried fruits
Homemade soaps
Jewelry
Knit/crochet sweater, scarf, hat, mittens, ornaments
Origami
Ornaments-instructions on internet (will include applesauce ornament instructions future blog)
Paint or draw a picture-have it framed
Needlepoint or embroider something
Scrapbook page or album of special time together
Transplant or divide up plants for persons garden/home, plant in pretty pots
Hope these ideas get your creative juices running. Some of these things you still have time to complete before Christmas. Others will get you thinking for next year or someones birthday or anniversary. Happy creating!
