I’m going to assume that I’m not the only one out there crazy enough to be making a bunch of my gifts and/or ornaments this year due to lack of funds or disdain for what is commercially available so I thought today I might share a few places where I’ve found some wonderful inspiration.
Saidos da Concha has a cute tutorial on making felt ornaments that gave me some ideas. This is a bilingual blog, but she has instructions in English.
Craftbits has a bunch of stuff, but I like a couple of their Christmas card ideas. Here and here.
Francine Clouden has a bunch of different goodies a wreath, several tags, a bird ornament and these felt ornaments.
I also found a bunch of goodies on flickr just by searching Christmas ornaments handmade.
A couple of my favorites were this one, this one, and all the cuties here. The last one being the inspiration for my tree ornament in my post the other day.
I know not all of you are as nutty as I am, but in case you feel the urge, this should give you some inspiration.
A couple of other places you might like are One Pretty Thing and The Crafty Princess Diaries because they have lists of goodies. But they can be a bit addictive so consider yourself forewarned.
Now I’m off to work on my next gift project- picture ornaments. Can someone out there come and knock me upside the head and maybe take away the iron on transfer paper before I go completely nuts?
