Good homemade Christmas gifts?
I already bought my friends and family something but I also like to make a little something as well! What are some things I can make? If you could give me a link with steps on how to make it that would be great or if you know any ideas I can search up that would help a lot too! Thank You! Merry Christmas!!!

Just look up "how to make" + any of these
You can also do a photo search for "handmade" + gift or ornament or stuffed animal or pillow etc and get a lot of great ideas.
What kind of "skills" do you have? Can you sew? If yes, you may want to make place mats and napkins. Holiday fabric is on sale right now. There are easy to make patterns- try Butterick or McCall's. If you like baking, you can start by making cookies. They freeze well. You can make jams/jellies, too. These are great gifts. Having homemade jam on toast on a cold winter's morning is great! There are books on candle making, too. Check the websites for stores like JoAnn's and Michaels. You may get some ideas by looking over their websites.
No such thing as a good homemade Christmas gift! Unless your a geinous but doubting that one
Cookies, fudge, banana or pumpkin bread loaves are all great homemade gifts that you can make and give to people that they would appreciate.
