More Christmas Projects

My copy of Handmade Christmas Special arrived in the mail today. It has lots of inspiring ideas for Christmas and includes a couple of my projects:

Gift Baskets - I combined some hessian, some Ikea checked fabric and some Kokka linen with cute motifs, to make these baskets. I plan to make a few more for Christmas - an eco friendly packaging solution.




You may recall my little handbag ornaments I made up last Christmas? I added a few more to the mix - I can't wait to hang them on my tree this year.




This issue also includes a few wonderful designs by Jennifer Reynolds. It is such a fun issue - can't wait to get started on a few more projects for Christmas.

Those handbag ornaments are so adorable! I love that the ornament hanger is the purse handle - clever idea. And the gift baskets are the perfect gift themselves, but also a great way to give lots of goodies!
