Make Crafty gifts

What if you made some of the gifts yourself? Potential projects include making greeting cards for friends and family, “publishing” a collection of favorite recipes or framing a picture you took yourself. Make a calendar marking special family events. Consider an ambitious idea of committing to sending a handwritten letter or card to a long-distance friend or relative once a month for a year.

• Make christmas cards by using shapes cut out from last year's cards. Even better make postcards -less card.

• Instead of cards that may get thrown away, send friends a (flat) decoration with a message on it that they can hang up on the tree. Try wooden, tin, card or papier mache shapes and write/ paint 'Happy Christmas from ....'
