Hey Belle Hey-

Welcome to the last month in the year of 2020 aka the year of is this really happening? In a year when staying home is the new going out it’s the perfect year for handmade gifts!

Handmade Gift 1: Buttons

I have totally (yes I still say totally) fallen in love with buttons again and a few months back I had the opportunity to purchase the We R Memory Keepers Button Press to create multiple size buttons with one tool. If you are feeling really fancy you can even make rosette pins and paperclips with the We R Memory Keepers extra add-ons.

Handmade Gift 2: Name Koozies

Staying at home means you’re eating and drinking more in your home so a name koozie is the perfect way to help you remember where you sat your drink especially when you don’t live alone. A quick search on Amazon allows you to easily find koozies in just about any color.

Handmade Gift 3: Initial Tote

A reusable tote is something that can be used over again- it’s perfect to return library books, bring home groceries and handy for a quick trip to the post office. You can quickly step up your tote game and create an extra special tote by using your Cricut Machine to add a vinyl initial letter to the tote bag. If you’re feeling extra fancy you can add a tassel or pompom.

Handmade Gift 4: Resin Bookmark

I have a love-hate relationship with resin and it’s one I hope to turn into love only in 2021. I have not mastered the resin formula but I have managed to make a few sparkly bookmarks for myself and family members. It’s the perfect handmade gift that adds a little sparkle to your favorite books.

What handmade gift do you enjoy making and giving to friends and family- comment below and..

As Always,
