Handmade Holiday Crafts to Give & Enjoy

In the spirit of going small and homemade for the holidays, as I wrote about previously, I have developed three homemade crafts to share with you.

Updated with 2 crafts. I’ll be posting the 3rd in the series the first week of December.

Week 1: Pine Cone Fire Starters. First up is a simple craft that makes a sweet gift for a loved one. The instructions are also available here in text.

Week 2. Wool Dryer Balls. Try this one for a fun craft using old sweaters and beautiful smelling essential oils. You can find written instructions here.

3. Bath Balms. Even if you don’t make this to give as a gift, creating the bath balms, and then using them, is a terrific way to stay peaceful throughout this season. Step by step instructions here.

This is not a time to go big or go home. It’s a time to go home and stay small with great love. I send you the warmest wishes for a meaningful, and peace holiday season.
