I am having a Christmas Craft Day. I have planned out a bunch of gift ideas and invited all my friends. The goal is quickly and inexpensively while having fun make lots of gifts affordable and quick. Each of these ideas are based on things I have seen or have patterns for. I made printable labels, tally cards, and signs to make it easy. The SilhouetteSD will be working overtime for this day.
Pick your gifts or propose new ones and then…
- I will purchase, organize and prepare everything for that gift assembly on gift day. I assume everyone will help each other with each series of gifts if people need a hand. On Christmas craft day **BAM** it is all ready and the group will bust out the presents they wanted in no time flat.
- Let’s leverage our coupons and sales. If we can agree on supplies and fabric etc. we can buy it with the best bang for our buck. I may enlist some help hitting the stores:)
- Propose changes or offer other gift ideas. These are just mine, what did you need/want to make this year?
- Set the date. I propose 2:00pm till done on November 26th (I am guessing about 4 hours).
5. Bring a laundry basket or 2 on craft day to house and carry this serious haul.
6. Invite anyone else you want. If it gets big I can arrange to use our church. Otherwise I will host it at my house in Littleton. I will provide lots of snacks and drinks to keep our energy up.
I created some tags, cards, labels etc. You can use them or create new ones. A link to the pdf I made for each is in the boxes below.
