Handmade Christmas Gift Ideas

The last few years our family has made gifts for each other for Christmas. Here are a few of this year’s offerings.
Homemade snowglobes from Newt and I:
060
(And yes, I made the Wonder Woman one for myself. I couldn’t resist.)
Snow globe instructions here.
From me to Newt:
011
Nope, not Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets…
013
…just the chamber…
014
…and some secret treats to keep in it.
Hollow book instructions here.

And another Harry Potter theme gift:
010
I was inspired by the handmade spiral notebooks in Amanda Soule‘s Handmade Home. I bought a couple of used paperbacks and cut off the covers. Then I cut blank paper to fit and had them spiral bound at our local copy shop. So easy, but unique and fun.

Never one to procrastinate, W is in the garage right now working on his gifts to us.

I can’t wait until tomorrow!
