How to Handle a Handmade Christmas30th Sep @ 09:52 Made the decision to go all handmade this Christmas? If you’re hand making all your food, decorations, and gifts, this can be quite a challenge. But it’s a rewarding challenge. Often hand made items are appreciated more than store bought ones, and friends and relatives will certainly value the time and effort you put into your projects. And you’ll also be doing Mother Earth a big favour.Here are some simple, easy ideas to get you started on your handmade Christmas without causing you to collapse from exhaustion, or give up after only a few days. Start with the tree. Get the kids involved, and you’ll hardly have to do anything. Make popcorn and cranberry strings. Tie ribbons onto pine cones for simple, classy decorations. You can also take apart vintage Christmas tree ornaments to make new ones. You can also make pretty Christmas tree decorations from old, unused jewellery. When it comes to gifts, think basics. If you crochet or knit, you can make hat and scarf sets for everyone on your list. Or you can make afghans and soft toys for the little ones. Another idea is to combine your holiday food preparations with your gift list - give boxes of homemade truffles or sugar cookies. Almost everyone loves sweets. For food, purchase a kids Christmas cookbook for easy, basic recipes, or search websites for easy Christmas food recipes. If all else fails, you can purchase handmade gifts, Christmas tree ornaments, and festive food online for a more varied selection than what is available in the shops.
