Heb jij cadeautjesstress omdat je niet weet wat je die ene boekenliefhebber of theeliefhebber moet geven? Of is het bestelde cadeautje vertraagd en moet je nu last minute nog iets verzinnen? Geen nood. Ik heb een lijstje voor je met leuke cadeautjes die je met eenvoudige middelen (en vaak voor een klein bedrag) kunt maken, zodat het toch nog een heerlijk avondje wordt voor iedereen. Wel zelf even een gedicht schrijven hè? Ik doe niet alles voor je 😉

Yesterday I made a matchbox-birthdaycard for my older sister who has her birthday on the 8th of February (: And this is how I used to draw hedgehogs when I was in elementary school and she always thought it was so hilarious. 😎🎁

“Secret Santa”

As fun as it is to receive a gift, I find it really special to give something to someone else. That’s why I enjoy Christmas shopping every year.  Of course the artist in me also has to do something crafty because I just think something handmade is far more valuable than anything bought in a store.  So when it came to signing up for Secret Santa at work this year, I decided to make something for my coworker.

Granted I know some handmade gifts aren’t always useful.  For that reason I decided to make her something she could use: a denim wrapped bracelet.  I used a plain wooden bangle as the base.  Then I cut out strips of denim and looped them onto the bracelet.  It was fairly easy to make but turned out so high-end. I think I might just make one for myself later on.

Though that wasn’t the only thing I made for her.  Since it’s a tradition for me to make Christmas ornaments every year, I wanted to create one just for her.  I found the idea for this ornament on Pinterest.  I took two different colours of purple felt and cut them into small squares. Then I folded them to make the ruffles and glued them onto a Styrofoam ornament.  That took a while to construct and I did burn my finger on the hot glue gun. But once again it turned out fabulous. To finish her gift I made a Christmas card and wrapped it in a hand-printed gift bag.  I hope she’ll enjoy her Secret Santa present as much as I enjoyed making it.
