Printable take-out boxes I think this may be one of my favorite printables to date, and I'm already dreaming up how I can use them for passing out Christmas goodies this year, especially since they're the perfect size for my nonpareils! Simply print out the template of your choice on regular paper (for a light…
Homemade toiletries such as lip scrub and lip balm are a popular DIY project for good reason: not only does making your own allow you to control the ingredients to avoid those that are toxic or questionable, but it's also much less expensive than buying them. This homemade lip scrub and lip balm would make…
Although I love the convenience of buying a bag of bows at the dollar store for the top of our gifts, these printable gift bows are really so much fun. They're simple but elegant and add an extra touch to your wrapping. I'm not sure I'd bother adding them to my kids' gifts just to watch…
It has been many, many, many years since I've had a set of keys that were "mine." For a long time, we were a one-car family, and even though we have two cars now, we tend to just grab whichever keys are on the hook rather than having designated sets. When I decided to make photo…
After I finished Jackson's Santa hat, I knew I wanted to try making a scarf. The fluffy red and white yarn I used was so pretty together that I couldn't resist making a candy cane scarf out of them! This is super easy, although it takes a bit longer than a hat just because of…
Gifts in a jar like this cranberry-orange quick bread mix are a lot of fun, and you can make them even more festive with these printable jar lid inserts, which slip right between the lid and band on a canning jar. {Or, if you're using repurposed jars and lids, try these covered jar lids instead!}…
As part of this year's 101 Days of Christmas series, I'm sharing a roundup each Sunday with more ideas from around the blogosphere! I love these DIY gift tags that Myra made for last year's series, and I'm thinking about setting my girls down with some supplies so they can make a whole bunch for…
Celebrate the holidays with each cup of coffee with these printable coffee sleeves, which would be perfect for a holiday party or get-together! Pick up white disposable coffee cups with lids (check Walmart or Target). Then print and cut out the sleeves, taping them closed in the back. Slip each one over a coffee cup…
I love to package various homemade treats in cellophane treat bags. They're much less expensive than cookie tins, look festive, are easy to prepare and transport in large batches, etc. My packaging usually includes a pretty ribbon tied around the bag and curled -- often with a hanging gift tag added -- but this year,…
My mom actually bought my sister and I each a pair of boot stands/inserts last year for Christmas, and -- because I'm a blogger -- my first thought when I saw them was, "Hey, we could make these for 101 Days of Christmas next year!" It turns out that it's not quite as simple of…
