And, Happy Monday after Thanksgiving!! It's always hard for me to really get into the swing of Christmas until today. I love Thanksgiving so much and I like to focus on one holiday at a time...first Halloween, then Thanksgiving and then Christmas...you know give each holiday it's own time.
That being said, by the time the Monday after Thanksgiving comes around I am usually already feeling a bit behind the ball with gift ideas and craft supplies. So, if you are like me and are just beginning your search for decorating, gift or craft ideas today I thought I'd give you a bit of inspiration...
Holiday decor...
Balsam Scented Holiday Pillows
Adding Balsam while stuffing holiday pillows is a lovely touch! (I bought my Balsam here) If you aren't in the mood to add your own holiday inspired appliques like the ones above you could always go a more simple route and make accent pillows from placemats.
Need some ornament ideas...
Felt ball ornaments, snow man, rainbow acorn wreath, Christmas mouse
Or maybe you need a new toddler friendly Advent calendar...
Speaking of toddler friendly...here are some toddler friendly crafts...
Sticks for stars, air dry clay snowmen, air dry clay Christmas trees, DIY snowglobes
or make them a simple peg people Nativity to play with
Or use up some of those acorn caps that you have been collecting with an acorn cap tree
Now that the decorating is done...
Gift ideas...
Felt bird necklace, Giant Felt Flower pin (using this tutorial, but with larger petals), lovebird necklace
Personalize it...
Name necklace, magnetic letters, personalized mugs, initial belt
And lastly, a few things to make for the kiddos...
Baseball pillow, sleep angel, hockey sticks horses, The Little House
Well, there you go...25 crafting ideas to get you started...Phew, I'm exhausted already! But, I'm hoping that you find a little inspiration from this list of goodies and enjoy getting your craft on, or at least your lists made!
Oh, and Violet wanted me to remind you about our embroidered hand towels and her Rainbow Road Dot Pillow, two more bonus crafts!
Enjoy!
