Handmade gifts.

hand sewn wool owl doll
When the holidays roll around, I like to try to make handmade gifts to give to friends and family instead of buying mass-produced items. I say TRY because the holidays (thankfully!) get very busy for me as a handmade business owner with a full-time job, so there isn't much time leftover to craft all of those wonderful items in my to-make list. So far this year I haven't been able to start any of my projects, but I did pretty well last year! I didn't share these on my blog because I didn't want to spoil the surprise come Christmas morning.

hand sewn stuffed wool owls
I sewed up a few of these great stuffed owls for my niece. She loved them! And now she's always drawing pictures of owls for me. I mixed it up a little bit with the sizes (so I could make a baby) and even started one for my self with a flat bottom filled with beans so it can stand up on its own. Maybe I'll finish that one this year! These were a lot of fun to make, because I made them out of thrifted wool clothing. The baby owl's body was a huge 80's sport coat, the middle owl was a skirt, and the black and white one was a sweater. I purchased the pattern on Etsy here. Warning: If you make these owls, dogs will want to eat them.

I also made these funny Honey Badger shirts for my mom and sisters. I don't know about you, but that ridiculous video makes me laugh so hard! I drew out a scene of the honey badger pursuing a delicious snake in a hollow log with a swarm of bees and wrote out "Honey badger don't care". Then I made a screen with it, and printed the design on a few tshirts I bought at Target. Easy!

I also made a yarn-wrapped wreath and a few mini owl ornaments but I didn't get photos of those. Again, my late night crafting and immediate gift wrapping didn't leave me any room for photography. I've got a few project ideas this year and I'm excited to get started on them! Do you make any handmade gifts to give for the holidays?

  4. Wow, This is so cute. These type of DIY are always a good pick for the gifts. Because the effort matters more than the things. As we all have a free time in lockdown conditions, so this is the best way we can use our spare time being more productive Visiting market and buying gifts from there is also a risky task for everyone due to the rapid spread of omicron. It can be anything or any character you can build up depending on the interest.

  6. I recently went shopping looking for the perfect gift for my dear grandma, but never found anything worthwhile. I already thought that tomorrow I would also have to stand in long lines and think about what could really surprise her. But after consulting with a friend, he sent me the site https://boomf.com/collections/vintage-mothers-day-cards, where you can buy absolutely any gift online!

  9. Actually I saw one entrancing article about how Connect Amazon S3 to WooCommerce. I figure the information will be relevant for individuals who somehow need to start working with Amazon. For example, this will be critical for sellers on the Amazon site, since you can learn new mostly secret methods that can make your life and usage of the stage more straightforward.
