Well it looks like it’s almost that time of year again! Can
you believe that Christmas is just around the corner again? I totally cannot
believe it! It seems the older I get the faster the years go by. I know as a
child I thought time moved so slowly, but now that I am older I know just how
fast it moves! If your budget is shot like most of ours this year, you may be
wondering what you can do for gifts this Christmas. I for one, plan to make
gifts this year and I wanted to give you 3 creative handmade gift ideas that
you might want to try.
One creative gift idea I may be making this year is a photo
of the entire family as well as extended family members. The way I plan to make
this is by using a picture of me and my family and then using a photo program
that will allow me to superimpose other members of our family that we don’t get
to see on a regular basis into the picture. There are many programs you can use
online that will do this for you or you can hire a photographer to do this for
you. I haven’t decided which route I am taking just yet on this.
Another creative gift idea for Christmas this year is to
make your own pottery. I know that pottery can be very expensive but if you
make it yourself you won’t spend quite as much money and it will be more
special than a store bought piece anyway.
Lastly another creative Christmas gift idea is to make
scarves for everyone. The yarn is very inexpensive and YouTube is full of
do-it-yourself tutorials so you can’t go wrong!
