I'm signed in, so that's not the reason.

the best craft I ever made was when my children were small and we all worked on gingerbread houses as gifts for people
gladysarce44 99644 88

I love the fact that the crafts are so easy to make and the material for them is readily availabe. The best craft I ever made was a gingerbread house (my first) when my kids were litte. This was about 28 years ago. I found the recipe in a family circle magazine, so i bought all the ingredients and decorations. I made the gingerbread from scratch because the recipe was in the magazine and I made the templates out of cardstock, baked them and used carmelized sugar as glue. It was a little lopsided, but I was so proud of that gingerbread house. Since then, my technique has gotten much better and now I make the gingerbread houses for my grandkids, but nothing beats that very first gingerbread house for the sheer pleasure of seeing my children's faces when they realized they could eat it!

The holiday gifts I made that gave me the biggest kick were the items I made a year ago A local mitzvah project was providing warm hats scarves gloves etc for school children in one of the poorest cities in our nation I saw the collection box start to fill with adorable items for girls- items in bright colors items with cute trims some very generously donated by people who selected the things from lovely area stores What caught my eye was the absence of warm things for the boys I've made things for my son and recently my teen grandson and they have taught me well how to make things in colors and textures that guys will actually wear The first batch of things I made used up the lovely yarn leftover from the last things I made for my teen grandson It was so much fun creating clever attractive…Read More items that I kept visiting the yarn stores and making things in black greys browns dark blues until the project ended Even better was that friends who saw me crocheting in public asked what I was doing and some of them contributed guy items too By the end of the project I'm happy to report that the collection boxes were filled guy and gal items

When my children were little, I purchased different size styrofoam balls, rickrack, pins w/colored heads, all kinds of small decorations and we made all new ornaments for our Christmas tree. We hung them with large plastic candy canes. It was such a beautiful tree - the favorite of all of us - w/all homemade ornaments and, of course, colored lights. After decades, I still hang them even tho I'm an empty nester.

One of my favorite things I made was a large wall hanging of a winter scene with horses at a stream. I edged it with cording and added some matching trim, then I also added a little glittering snow in just the right places. To finish it off, it is hung up on a real tree branch, so it ties it all together.

I would have to say that my favorite craft iem that I made for Christmas were a set of 8 ornaments that were all made with cinnamon sticks.

When my daughter was 9 I hurried to finish a brown cardigan for her for Christmas. It was very late at night when I finished sewing on the buttons. I tucked it into my sewing bag planning to wrap it after work the next day. After work I picked her up from school and as we entered the house she screamed that Duke our young Dalmatian had gotten into my yarn! That's just what half of it looked like- a wad of yarn! Never did find all the buttons...

I am now teaching two of them to quilt and sew, and the time we spend together is something I cherish.

I made crocheted beanies, headbands and scarves sets for terminally ill/traumatized children in St. Louis, MO hospitals and for a local school to give to needy children. I was diagnosed with leukemia in June of this year and started a grueling chemotherapy regimen 7 days a week in July. I have a charity I began in 1999 for terminally ill children and make and donate crocheted and quilted blankets. I have personally made 1,008 and my group just donated our 5,000th blanket. The peace this brought to me is so gratifying knowing that these children will be kept warm this winter. God Bless

Mine would have to be making christmas tree center pieces with the children at church, we made the trees with donated paperback books and also snowmen with quilt batting and ribbon for scarfs. had them set on pieces of cardboard with batting as snow and small wrapped boxes. They turned out really well.

My favorite Christmas project was actually this year. I made crocheted beanies, headbands and scarves sets for terminally ill/traumatized children in St. Louis, MO hospitals and for a local school to give to needy children. I loved making them pretty sets, used brightly colored, cheerful yarns and silk flowers and felt peaceful knowing that many children would be kept warm throughout the winter

My favorite thing I have made with my children for Christmas was the Allspice and Cinnamon scented hand print ornaments. The ornaments smelled wonderful and made the house smell delicious.

When I was little we used to make plastic canvas stockings for all our friends and family. My mom taught us to do the stockings and we would help her sew the plastic canvas. It was a ton of fun!

I made a crochet skirt that goes around the Christmas tree. We made a Christmas tree shape out of construction paper to have up and put all the Christmas cards we received.

This year instead of crocheting afghans, scarves and potholders.. I am making sock monkeys. They are fun to make and watch their personalities emerge as I finish them.

For me my full sized crocheted stockings. I've been making these stockings for over 25 years and never get tired of it. I've given away free, donated to causes and sold. They are the best.

I make handmade gifts every year so picking a favorite is difficult but I think one of my favorites actually wasn't a gift but the wrapping of a gift. Many years ago I ranout of wrapping paper for the christmas gifts so I had to get inventive. I had lots of tissue paper on hand and I had a unique collection of rubber stamps so I got creative and wrapped gifts using layers of tissue paper and stamped images in torn out spaces or litte openings. My daughter was so thrilled with the wrapping she almost didn't want to open her gifts. I had lots of fun wrapping gifts that year and even more joy and delight watching everyone check out their gifts before opening them.

My favorite thing this Christmas season is using www.allholidaycrafts.com which has inspired me to make EVERY gift this year from all of your free patterns. I am a newly disabled RN and was suffering from depression when I found your website. The wonderful patterns and ideas woke me up and now I am happily knitting, crocheting and crafting as never before and don't feel depressed or sad at all. In fact I am proud of myself again! Thanks to all who have made this possible for me. God Bless you all!

My favorite thing I made for Christmas was the year that I joined several friends and made hats and scarfs for homeless teenagers in the Vancouver/Portland area. Knowing they would have something warm for Christmas filled me with joy.

The best thing I ever made for Christmas was a wreath I made with my nephew. I cut the centre out of a paper plate, had him place his wee hand on green construction paper, while I traced around it and then cut it out. We did the trace/cut out thing about 2 dozen times. Then we glued the green hand shapes around the outer circle of the paper plate, punched holes in the top and threaded through a red ribbon for hanging. I still have that wreath, although my nephew now stands 6'2".

My favorite thing I made for Christmas; was a Beautiful Blanket for My Daddy,He had 3 different types of cancer and mulitple heart attacks. He was in and out of the hospital and couldn't keep warm no matter where he was. So I crocheted him a big granny square Blanket. When He opened it, there were tears in his eyes. He never let ANYONE else use it or touch it. When he passed 2 years ago; He made sure it came back to me. I now have it, and I cherish every moment of being wrapped up in it.

The most appreciated item I have ever made for Christmas was a pair of fingerless mittens for my husband. He works outside year around & he really liked the way he could wear gloves & still be able to use his fingers. Apparently somebody else felt the same way because they got stolen!

The best thing I ever made for Christmas was actually when I was still in grade school, for art class. I can't recall what it was actually called, but it was kind of like paper mache. Instead of using paper, we used sewing thread and a small balloon. After the threads all dried, we popped the balloon and pulled the pieces of balloon out. This left us with a very unique rounded ornament that we attached a ornament hanger too. Its the absolute best thing I can ever recall making. I just wish I could find the instructions on how to do it again, lol.
