Christmas Gifts

Recommended Posts

Since in my house hand made crafts ROCK!  

 

Surely with our sets of skills we have someone in our lives that is deserving of a hand made leather...something?  

When it gets finished wanna post a picture of it here?

While not technically a gift, here is a Christmas card I did for an old girlfriend that I recently re-connected with. My carving skills have atrophied badly in the years since my shop burned, and Olde English might have been a bit ambitious for a first go. But I think she will like it, and I'm fairly happy with it as well.

Nice job with the card!  Good that the year is not on it so you can reuse it!:thumbsup:

I've just finished 8 of these Christmas tree hangers. I took the notion to make them this afternoon and set-to earlier this evening. All  put together with double-sided tape and glue. They're about 3 & 3/4 inches long by 2 & 3/4 inches wide at heel to toe. Showing both sides. All are red on one side and green on the other. 

I'll give them to my ladies tomorrow afternoon

For a Christmas party last year, I made this as a "White Elephant" gift.
It is a Poop Emoji luggage tag.

Merry Christmas all! Here is a prototype ornament I made. It was originally to be 4 panels, but my geometry was off, and it would have looked more like an apple.

So 3 sided. Will work on some more for next year.
