Ten handmade gifts including a felt bookmark, paper plants, macrame ornaments, and a felt ball trivet

For the Readers in Your Life

Embroidered Felt Snowdrop Bookmark: A few stitches of embroidery turn a strip of wool felt into a keepsake. Tuck it into a favorite book before you wrap it.

Felt Glasses Case: Soft, sturdy, and made to be used every day. Pair it with the bookmark for a cozy reading set.

For Friends Near and Far

Layered Paper Winter Bunny Cards: Layered cardstock gives these cards depth and charm. Make a stack and mail them to the people you miss.

Origami Elk Family: A little folded family for a mantel, a shelf, or a holiday table. Lovely for families with kids.

For the Plant Lovers

Paper Philodendron Plant: All the green, none of the watering. A paper plant brightens a desk or a windowsill all year long.

Paper String of Pearls Plant: Trailing strands of paper pearls spill over the edge of the pot. Give it to the friend who has every real plant already.

For Trimming the Tree

Wood Bead Macrame Ornaments: Natural wood beads and a few knots. Make a set for every guest at your holiday table.

Macrame Flower Key Chains: A small, sweet stocking stuffer. Once you learn the knots, you'll want to make one for everyone.

For a Cozy Home

Felt Ball Trivet: Colorful wool felt balls stitched into a trivet that's both useful and beautiful. A perfect gift for the cook in your life.

Felt Ball Diffuser: Add a few drops of essential oil to the wool and enjoy a gentle scent. A calming gift for anyone who needs a moment to breathe.
