6 Christmas Gift Ideas that are hand crafted and from the heart
Over the years I have created different hand crafted gifts for Christmas and here is a list of some of my favorites.
1. DIY Silhouette Nativity Scene
I really like the look of Silhouette crafts. I made this Silhouette Nativity scene using my Cricut cutting machine. Just take the backing off of the picture frame for the clear glass effect.
Here is a second smaller version of the nativity scene:

2. Easy Framed Menu Sign
This fun and easy to make menu sign is a great addition to the kitchen.

- Picture frame
- cutting machine
- adhesive vinyl
- scrapbook patterned paper
3. Personalized Name Wall Art
These fun personalized wall art adds that extra touch. It is cool how you can see letters in nature.
If the last name is too long you could always spell out LOVE!

4. Changeable holiday Printables
To go with the same theme you could give them a fun picture frame and subway printables for each of the major holidays.
6. Personalized family calendar
Every 2 years or so I take on the big task of messaging all of my extend family members and creating a personalized calendar for my grand parents. Each month focuses on a different family. Adding a picture to the calendar for each persons birthday is one of my favorite features.
My grandma has a cool wood display calendar holder. I found this one which is a little different. It is fun to see the calendar on the wall whenever we go visit.
I hope this has been helpful. Good luck with your hand crafted holiday gifts.
