12 Weeks of Christmas Week 5:Homemade Gifts

This week on the "12 Weeks of Christmas" the focus is on homemade gifts. I have a couple ideas up my sleeve, but I'm not going to post them here just in case anyone I know actually reads this blog! Here are a couple of ideas that I CAN share. I can't really take credit for any of them.



Altered clipboards: Clipboards can easily be found at dollar stores. They don't have to remain plain and boring though. Maureen Spell at Scrapjazz has a great tutorial on how to jazz them up here .


Decorated Candles:
Plain pillar candles can be decorated by stamping images on tissue paper and melting them onto the candle wax using an embossing gun. You can find a tutorial here .

    Maybe after Christmas we should see what you're working on! Whatever it is, enjoy making it/them!
    I really like the clipboards!
