It’s coming, folks. My third annual Handmade Christmas Challenge.
For the last 2 years, I’ve challenged my readers to a Handmade Christmas. Why? Because there’s something magical about rolling up your sleeves, filling your kitchen with smells of sweet confections, and filling your home with hand crafted gifts. Little pieces of yourself that are offered up in love.
My 2015 Handmade Christmas Challenge was all about choosing a theme and making lists, with tutorials for a bohemian felt tree skirt, a sprawling miniature village, and a looking glass pinecone wreath. My 2016 challenge took a more minimalist approach, with ideas for fashioning a giant advent calendar from a dropcloth, and simple tree trimming with funky snowbirds for a Florida holiday.
This year, however, is all about CONNECTING. Getting back to what really matters – the people in your life. Don’t worry, there’s still a little funk thrown in and absolutely no traditional red & green color schemes. And some of my projects may surprise you. (Like what I’m using instead of a traditional Christmas tree!) So mark November 10 on your calendar, and let’s get our merry on.
Excited? Share it on Pinterest to spread the word!
Love the idea, the miniature village was awesome!
Thanks Anna!
Just realized my comment wasn’t attributed to me! Sorry: I made the cloths, so easy, here’s a link: https://boneandsilver.com/2017/05/30/5-easy-steps-to-make-beeswax-cloths-banish-plastic-wrap-over-your-food-forever/
I just checked out your post for beeswax cloths. How cool! What a clever idea; I think I may have to try it out. Thanks for visiting my blog, too.
Great idea- last year I made beeswax cloths
I can hardly wait!
