One of my favorite family Christmas traditions is making handmade gifts for my family and friends.  From baking cookies to crocheting scarves, we all love making gifts for each other.  Not only is it more personable, but it’s so fun to create something special for someone you love!

If you love handmade gifts for the holidays, you’re going to love Mollie Makes Christmas: Living and Loving a Handmade Holiday.  This beautiful book by the designers of Mollie Makes magazine is filled with lovely crochet projects, knitting projects, paper crafts, sewing ideas, and lots more.  You’re sure to find something for everyone on your list in this collection of unique handmade gifts.

As a lover of all things vintage, I absolutely fell in love with the Paper Decoration String of Stars project.  Made from patterned paper, upcycled books, recycled Christmas cards, and more, this stunning paper chain would look beautiful hanging in a window or on your Christmas tree.  It’s easy to make and a great way to use up leftover paper scraps.

If you love making gifts for your loved ones, you’re going to love Mollie Makes Christmas.  The 20 projects in this book are easy and fun to make, and there’s literally something for everyone.  So put a few more logs on the fire, grab a cup of hot cocoa and take out those craft supplies.  This year, celebrate a beautiful handmade Christmas.
