Giveaway- Handmade Christmas: Over 35 step-by-step projects and inspirational ideas for the festive season

Leave a comment in today’s post by December 11th, 2015 and you are in the running for a copy of this book filled with a great collection of classic Christmas crafts.

Open to U.S. residents only please.

More about the book from the publisher Cico Books:

“Make the holiday season really special by making your own cards, gifts, and decorations. Save money and have fun with this beautiful collection of Christmas makes. There are three chapters covering a wide range of different crafting techniques–from papercutting and collage to embroidery and sugarcraft with projects, which take inspiration from different festive cultures and traditions. Start with Decorations, where you will find delightful ideas such as a traditional advent calendar and colorful embroidered Christmas stockings, brighten up your dinner table with tin candle holders that will glimmer and shine, and welcome carol-singers with a pretty wreath for your door. There’s nothing so satisfying as making your own cards, and Cards and Gift Wrap also has inspired ways to present your gifts, such as goody bags and labels in the shape of gingerbread men, and why not get the kids involved with making the potato print star gift wrap? In Handmade Gifts, there is something to please everyone, including tasty edible treats such as button bites, chocolate coins, and traditional German lebkuchen. Every project comes with clear step-by-step instructions and illustrations, most of the projects require no specialist equipment, and many can be made in an afternoon, so you can get started right away.”
