Today is the last day in the Week of Gift Giving Ideas Series and I hope you have found some useful ideas for homemade gifts. I want to wrap the week up with some great homemade decorating ideas, which are really gifts for ourselves and our families to enjoy. I also have some yummy holiday drink recipes. Any kind of hot chocolate is always a hit in our house!
I have included some photos of ornaments my kids have made over the years. I love putting these on the tree each year as they remind me of the time spent making them together. It is also a reminder of how fast they have grown up. Handmade is so meaningful.
To link to the tutorial for each craft, click on the title. To see photos of the project and to see all the links at once, visit my Pinterest board titled Homemade Home for the Holidays.
