Now that all the gifts have been given, I've got some Christmas crafts to unveil.

  1. Star tree ornaments: I made a bunch of these origami stars as ornaments this year. They were super fun + fast to create. Here's the tutorial for anyone interested. I made small versions of the stars using 6"x6" pieces of paper.
  2. Soy, linen-scented candles: Using the same tutorial as I've used in the past, my mom and i made these super cute candles to give away. Such an easy + useful gift! Oh, and I labeled them as "small gift, BIG LOVE" to match my new blog.
  3. Initial jars: I spray painted giant mason jars and then modge-poged my nieces' initials (using lace from my mom's wedding dress) on them. I added a braided yard and button accent tie. They were a big hit...but that might have had to do with the cash gift we included inside. Maybe. 
  4. A Sayde-inspired onesie: I used this freezer paper screen print technique to make a one-of-a-kind Sayde onesie for my favorite 4 month old. I've been holding onto this adorable onesie for well over a year waiting to give this to Mae. Who's Sayde? You might ask. This is Sayde.

'Tis the season for excess crafting! I hope I can funnel a little of this motivation and keep crafting now that it's the new year. I'll keep you posted.
