T-shirt Special Order - Day 6 of 30 Days of Homemade Christmas Gifts

I got an orders at my first craft fair of the Christmas Season for these two t-shirts. My customer loved them in other sizes, but I was trying not to carry too many extra shirts in stock. I had opted not to carry many medium shirts, and of course, that was what I had orders for! I love to make t-shirts! They are so fast and easy to make. Check out the Coffee one: They really make a nice gift for any time of the year! If you'd like to order one of my ready made t-shirts, check them out HERE! As always, your purchases help me create more pretty things and content, so I appreciate you checking it out!

Shiplap Reindeer Games Sign - Day 5 of 30 Days of Homemade Christmas Gifts

This is a really large surface: 12"x18", but so easy to use! Wow, do I love this one! Being patient, and chalking a little at a time, peeling it in between sections, makes this one turn out just beautifully! I even added a shape of the deer in the middle, to give it a pop out 3D effect! If you'd like to see how I made this one, check it out: https://www.youtube.com/live/6k_vELlsoJY If you love this one, I've listed it on my new website: For Sale

Gingerbread Ornaments - Day 4 of 30 Days of Homemade Christmas Gifts

Every year, I give my entire family an ornament that I've made. Well, some years, I purchase them, but I usually try to make them. It is so much fun to make a new design each year. I also try to make new designs for my craft shows to sell each year. This year, I am joining in on the gingerbread trend. I took some pre cut ornaments from the craft store - Micheal's this round and painted them with camel chalk paste. Then I used bright white to put the mini transfers on them. I think they turned out so cute - what do you think? Here's the video of them being made: DIY Ornaments

Painted Tray - Day 3 of 30 Days of Homemade Christmas Gifts

This was a fun and easy craft to make for a gift or decor item any time of the year. I got this tray from Hobby Lobby on a 60% off for spring products a couple of years ago. Do you buy things at full price at Hobby Lobby? I try to get things that are only on Clearance or on sale. You could use any stencil/transfer for this that has a pattern. I used greige chalk paste to go with it and keep it simple. Here's the How-to Video . I'd love for you to go check it out. Don't want to make it - I've listed it on my new website for sale: Wood Damask Tray

Thrifted Spoons | Day 2 of Homemade Christmas Gifts

These are some spoons from my craft stash! I bought them at our local thrift store for $.75. I think I made a mistake and didn’t think this through. Dollar Tree sells new ones for $1.25 for 3. These were stained and possibly moldy. Maybe you’d throw them away, but being the hoarder I am, I’m going to fix them into something pretty!! I painted them and made a cute decoration for the kitchen! What a wonderful and quick gift idea - don’t you think? Pair them with the oven mitts we made yesterday! Here’s the how-to video: Thrifted Spoons How-to
