Are you still wondering to make for a few gift ideas? Here to the rescue are several ideas shared by a group of us! This was our first try at a Google Hangout and we made lots of mistakes, but the ideas are great. I’m sure we will get better as we get experienced. I have tutorials for my two projects below the video.
Here are the websites for the others sharing on this video:

My two projects center around making Christmas fun!
1. The Never-Ending Envelope Gift!
Does your family do the box within a box within a box kind of gift? Its always fun to watch the recipient keep on opening their present. This is a take-off on that!
Of course, this gift is from Santa, so I used Santa’s List for the closure.
And there are this many envelopes to open!
All are made from the Season of Style Designer Series Paper, so they look great together!
These are the sizes of square paper I started with.
The sizes were all determined by reading the chart on the Envelope Punch Board and finding sizes that would nest together.
To use the Envelope Punch Board, you line up the paper to the measurement the diagram gives you.
Here I lined up my paper at 3 3/4″.
Then, punch the gray punch down and score along the line on the boards (which you see just at the tip of the stylus).
Next. turn your paper 90 degrees and line the fold up with the pointer. Punch again and score.
Continue on all 4 sides.
Your paper will now look like this.
Fold up and glue the sides down. This envelope will slide into the next larger size.
Thats it! Have fun!
2. The Reindeer Noses from Warmth and Wonder!
When our kids were young, we called our Christmas tree “the giving tree” because we hung a bunch of handmade gifts on them. Every time someone visited our home during the month of December, our kids would run to give them a gift from our tree! This is the type of gift we would make!
Just a bit of candy and a cute saying!
Have fun when you make these as a family activity and let the kids have fun handing them out.
Its fun to watch kids participate in the fun of “giving”!
For these, I just used two sizes of the Labels Framelits and folded them in half to make the topper.
Add the reindeer from Warmth and Wonder, a little bag, and some candies and you are set!
I hope you have enjoyed this tour of some fun Holiday gift ideas! What is your favorite gift idea from the many given?
