| Tis the season for Christmas Crafts. Just think how lovely it is to receive a homemade Christmas gift from someone you care about and love. You know you will cherish it always. Wouldn't someone you love feel the same way if you gave them a Christmas Craft gift?
But you fear you are not creative enough to complete a craft. You say you can not sew. You can not embroidery. You don't even know how to knit. Well, do not fear there are so many craft projects and craft kits that you can buy that even the least creative people amongst us can find something they can do. Can you paint? You could buy an all ready prepared, cut and put together craft project such as a nice jewelry box, a picture frame, a knick nack of some sort that needs to be finished. These can be bought at some department stores in their craft aisle and at all major Hobby shops across the country. Can you sew at least a little? You could buy some nice patches and emblems and then personalized such items as: towels, aprons, tote bags, chef hats, etc. If you can't sew you could even buy iron on patches. All you need is an iron and the ability to follow the directions that come with the patches. Would you like to try your hand at making photo ornaments for your tree or to give as presents? All you need is: a great looking photo, some card board paper, some string or ribbon, some tape and if you can get it a piece of plastic like what is used as file covers, a pair of scissors and maybe some markers. Cut your cardboard a bit larger than your photo. Secure the photo to the card board with the tape. Now cut a hole at the edge of the cardboard and run some string through the hole, tying it in a loop. This loop will be how you can hang the photo ornament to your tree. Now cut the plastic the same size of your cardboard. Decorate the edge of the cardboard that may show. Now lay the photo onto the cardboard, cover with the plastic and tape. Viola you have a picture ornament. You could even make your Christmas cards a Christmas craft project. You can use your computer for help with this. There are many sites that offer many templates to getting you started in making your own cards. If you have little ones around who love to color, you can also download many coloring Christmas coloring projects for them to add their creative touches, too. These soon to be masterpieces could be added to your Christmas Cards, hung from your refrigerator, hung in your windows and enjoyed by all. Do you or a lot of people you know enjoy candles? You could always make candle holders for them to enjoy. Take a small baby food jar. Wash and allow it to completely dry. Then you could cover it with such things as: buttons, squares of tissue paper in different colors, etc. Add a new, great smelling votive candle to the holder and you have an instant, thoughtful and creative gift. Remember when it comes to Christmas Crafts you don't have to be a pro to enjoy them, all you need is a bit of the Christmas spirit flowing through your body.
