Holly Jolly Gift Card Holder

2 comments

Make giving a gift card memorable with a handmade (and reusable) felt envelope. I used red and white felt and thread with two iconic Christmas images—a tree and a present (which is a button). The tree is sewn onto the front of the envelope, but you can sew any other shape you like or none at all. You can also use paint and stencils/stamps to create your own design. Try personalizing it by adding the recipient’s name or by using his/her favorite colors. Changing the colors will also make it appropriate for any occasion (birthday, baby shower, etc.). This envelope can be used again and again or even hung on the Christmas tree as a keepsake.

A Tasty, Heartwarming Gift

Leave a comment

When I think of Christmas dinner, I think of family, comfort, a warm kitchen, and a lot of food. The entire holiday season is a time to reflect on our blessings and to be grateful for what we have. (Like mom always said, “Count your blessings.”) It’s also a time when I think about how some people may not have these same warm comforts. Some folks may not have family near them, some may have fallen on hard times, and some may be going through a major life event (moving, a new baby, etc.) in which circumstances make it difficult to “make Christmas happen.” So if you know someone who perhaps lives far away and would appreciate some help this Christmas season, consider sending a meal.

Snowflake Lanterns

5 comments

Transform a strand of Christmas lights with only mini plastic cups and paper! That’s right—cups and paper! I used white plastic cups (the 3 oz. size) found in the paper products aisle at the grocery store. Depending on where you shop, they might also be called bathroom cups.  I tested these lanterns with clear cups, but they didn’t diffuse the light when turned on. The lights inside the white cups illuminate the opaque plastic nicely, casting subtle shadows from the snowflakes. You cannot tell that these are cups once the lights are on!

Strands of lights usually come with 100 mini lights. You only need to cover about half of the lights with cups. You can also use these as a tealight holder—with flameless candles only!
