With Christmas 4 days away and maybe some of you staring at a skein of yarn you intended to knit or an empty canvas you intended to paint, here are a few last minute handmade gift ideas you can whip up pretty quickly:
1) DIY Wedding Ornaments
Two of my good friends whom I have known for a very long time have a great blog, wearetheolivers.com and I thought that this was a great gift idea!

2) Snow Globes
Every year I intend to make a snow globe..this year I have all of the components - jars, glycerin, cute vintage japanese deer ...all on my kitchen table..staring at me, just waiting to be be transformed into a stocking stuffer...
3) DIY Coffee Syrup

I think making something like this is such a great present...it is so easy to cook up a big batch of syrup for coffee or alcoholic drinks (even ice cream! mmm) and bottle the syrup up in cute jars or bottles.
A few recipes for syrups around the web:

Ginger Simple Syrup (I made this for the studio warming party, we added a dash of it to prosecco)
The possibilities are endless....Postprohibition is a good reference.
(I also thought these little lace flower pots on their list were so cute! Would also be so perfect for a wedding or just everyday... )
4) Printable Treat Bags
