Cheap Christmas Gifts

    Cheap Christmas Gifts
    on: November 04, 2010, 08:01:29 AM
    Hi everyone
    I will be running a Christmas Crafts workshop in our local woman's refuge & was wondering if anyone has any ideas for relatively cheap & easy Christmas decoration or gift ideas? I am hoping to have the theme "Five for a Fiver" (five gifts/craft projects for five pounds which is about 8 dollars)
    So far I have:
      Christmas Cookies In A Jar using Bakerella's recipe http://www.bakerella.com/mix-things-up/
        Christmas Coasters using Penelope Waits tutorial
        http://penelopewaits.com/penny/?p=61
          Felt ornaments using sew4home tutorial
          http://sew4home.com/projects/fabric-art-a-accents/397-citrus-holiday-bits-a-pieces-felt-ornaments

          If any of you have other ideas, I would really love to hear from you
          Thanks so much

            Thanks for the great ideas.
            My daughter and I are making this fridge magnet from How about Orange
            http://howaboutorange.blogspot.com/2010/05/diy-mid-century-clock-magnets.html
            and from Cluck Cluck Sew I've made these broaches, or hair chips
            http://www.cluckclucksew.com/2010/05/tutorial-scrappy-strip-rose.html
            I'll keep checking back here for more ideas.
