We're not really the types to start blasting Christmas music and putting up lights before the Halloween candy is even gone, but there are some benefits to getting a head start on the holiday season—especially if you're hoping to put a little DIY into your gift-giving. All that sewing, knitting, cutting, pasting, woodworking, and designing will make the next few weeks fly by—so, to narrow your options, we've pulled together some of our favorite handmade gift ideas (and given you the chance to vote on the ones that you like best).
From using your grandmother's favorite cracked teacup as a holder for a new soy candle to creating your own chess set from spare hardware, and from touching your mom's sentimental side with a quilt made from baby clothes to thrifting a dress-up box for the kids on your list, check out these ten fun and easy projects—there's something for everyone on your list. But you'd better get going: you have just over a month of crafting days left.
