It’s that time again. That moment when everything work-related is winding down for the year, but everything family and holiday-related comes crashing full speed ahead. When you realize you forgot to make a gift for your kid’s piano teacher, or that work party Secret Santa you agreed to. Hanukkah has already come and gone for the year, but the Winter Solstice is coming up on Thursday, Christmas is just 1 week away, and Kwanzaa is just a day behind that.
If you’re looking for a last minute bit of inspiration, here it is! All of the projects in this roundup include tutorials or patterns from some of your favorite crafty crushes. If there’s a Christmas or winter holiday-friendly gift tutorial you think I missed, please post a link below, and I’ll be happy to add it.
