Homemade

This year for Christmas I decided I was going to try my hand at being crafty and make most of our gifts this year for family members. For my 2 nieces that are around the same age I found a cute idea on a blog for ABC blocks. Bear already had the wood I needed for it and I already had the paint and paper and mod podge. They were WAY easy to make and I think they turned out so cute!

I used 6 different patterned papers and painted the blocks with the coordinating colors.

The one other gift I made was an apron. I found a cute tutorial on this website and decided to try it out! I have never sewn in my life so I knew this was not going to be an easy project but with the help of my mom I was able to do it! I made one for our girl gift exchange with my dad's side of the family and made one for my SIL.

I had a lot of fun making these gifts and think they turned out good for being my first. I am sure I will be doing homemade in the future so if you get a homemade gift I hope you don't mind :]
