Ok, Friends. This is my last post on handmade gifts, and I’m sharing two ideas perfect for kids.
The first are some flower clips that little girls will love. They’re very simple to make and don’t take long at all.
Let’s get started!

Handmade Gift – Beaded Necklace
Ok, friends, this is the first post in a little series I’m doing in the next couple of weeks on some simple handmade gifts you can make.
These are gifts I made last Christmas. And they’re mostly for women. Sorry, guys. I’m not very good at making handmade stuff for men. It doesn’t come as naturally for me.
Anyhow. This is a necklace I made for my sister. I think it turned out pretty well, but I had some frustrations making it, so hopefully you can learn from my mistakes!
Let’s break it down.
Busy Book Pages 7, 8, 9 & 10
Ok, I was going to do these pages two at a time, but I’m going to be honest with you. I am so sick of writing about this busy book. I mean, I was so excited to show it to you at first, but since I can only manage to get out 1 or 2 posts a week, it’s just been dragging on. And I don’t want it hanging over my head anymore. I want to post about Christmas stuff now. So here are all the rest of the pages with instructions.
Enjoy!
Black & White Birthday Card
I haven’t posted a card in a while, and I found this while going through my old photos. It’s a card I made for my mother-in-law’s birthday back in May and forgot to post.
I didn’t take in-process photos again (I’m always in such a hurry when I make cards) but this is really simple to make if you have the right materials.
This card illustrates why it can be really helpful to buy coordinating materials. If you go to the craft store, you’ll find lots of matching papers & embellishments. I’ve never really been one to buy those things together, but after making this card, I will.
This paper was part of a gift my grandma gave me last Christmas. It’s by Creative Memories and is part of a larger set.
