Homemade Gifts For Women

Potpourri
Homemade Gifts For Women, there is nothing more wonderful during the Christmas season than receiving a handmade gift. With homemade items, there is so much personal time and expression involved that the gift becomes much more than just a present; it becomes a fond memory of the holiday. There are many homemade gifts for women that are simple to make and cost very little.

Incense and Potpourri
Incense and potpourri are excellent homemade gifts for any woman. You can sew an elegant potpourri pillow with just a bit of floral printed cloth and some lace for the edges. Fill your pillow with potpourri scented in pine and cinnamon and then sew it closed. Edge the pillow with lace or fringe to create a lovely decorative item for any household. The entire project can be created with less than a yard of material, but if you buy a few yards you can create several gifts at once!

Scented Candles
Scented candles are another wonderful homemade gifts for the women on your Christmas list. You can mold your own candles from soy, beeswax or even gel materials. These can be scented with any fragrance, including a favorite perfume or an essential oil. The best part about handmade candles is the personalization. You can add beads or wraps to your candles, you can create molded designs or elegant tapers and you can choose the colors to suit each gift. Personal gifts like candles are always appreciated.

Sewing Kits
A medium-sized Mason jar containing all of the essentials for a sewing kit is another terrific gift. Place a handmade pincushion in the jar and then fill it with colorful spools of thread. A pretty thimble and plenty of sewing needles will complete the kit.
Wrap the jar with a piece of lace or ribbon and hot-glue it in place. You can also design a custom label for your jar. Use your computer's printer to print the label on sticky paper and you have a card as well as a gift! The Mason jar can be stored easily and the sewing kit is always handy.

Fabric Flowers
Fabric flowers and homemade journals also make excellent gifts for women. You can create a whole bouquet of flowers from several colors of leftover fabric. These flowers, when placed in a pretty jar or vase, make a cute and decorative gift.
Journals
A journal printed on elegant paper and bound with a ribbon is perfect for the intellectual woman on your Christmas list. She will appreciate the time that you took to choose the paper and create the custom cover. You can adorn the journal with fabric or make a cover from a canvas painting. Journals are one of the top-selling gifts from craft stores, so making your own special journal will be sure to please.

Homemade gifts for women are a treasured part of the holiday season. This year, spend some time rather than just spending money and your gifts will brighten anyone's Christmas.
