Homemade Christmas, part 2

Christmas is getting close!

I've made a few homemade gifts. If you are behind on your gift list, hopefully some of my projects will help!

I made more coasters using copyright-free images, ceramic tiles, and mod podge (I backed them with felt squares cut to size and mod podged on). The theme can be suited to each individual. It is quick, easy, and inexpensive to make.

For a quick stocking stuffer, I made little keychains out of "paracord" and key rings from the dollar store:

The pattern for Paracord Buddy Keychain is available online from CraftAndCreativity.com

I am very ecological and I like to take my own straw when going to get fast food. I bought metal straws at my dollar plus store. I cut two 5" wide x two 11" long pieces of cotton fabric and added a zipper to make a pouch. For a larger family and more straws, increase the width of the pouch.

Lastly, I sewed a quilt block for myself. I'm not generally a fan of pink, but I love this one! It's from Fabric406.com

Happy crafting, and happy holidays!
