15 Fresh Handmade Gifts Ideas Show Encore

Did you catch the premiere of our special, 15 Fresh Handmade Gift Ideas? If you missed it, be sure to tune in or set your DVR for the encore airing this Friday, December 3 at 2p/1c.

I was so inspired by the hundreds of cool Etsy crafts that I made a handmade gift of my own.

My inspiration: Handmade Felt & Yarn Wreath by Etsy Seller Itz Fitz

My execution: Handmade Yarn Wreath with Jingle Bell and Wooden Snowflakes

If you’re not feeling crafty, but you still want to give handmade gifts, you can shop all the Etsy featured crafts from the show. No parking hassles or long lines. That’s what I call Christmas shopping!

  3. A darling idea and a great way to use up the yarn we buy to knit that sweater or afghan and then lose interest and shove it in the closet.

  4. I could actually do this.

  5. Adorable! I saw it and made my own 'log' candle votives that I spotted on the show. They are so very pretty on my natural country mantle. I just posted them on my blog and mentioned HGTV.
