Is this for adults or kids or both? What do you like to do?
What about glass ornaments that are decorated on the inside? These come out looking really nice and as long as you limit the colors available : ) the kids can do them too. (I made the mistake one year of putting out all the colors, yuck. LOL) I can look up the type of paint for you if you are interested. You use 3 colors per ornament, squeezing them in, and then rotating the ornament around to coat it on the inside. They look especially nice with 3 colors and a touch of metalic gold. You could also do smaller glass ornaments and then use them as decorations on top of the packages.
Maybe we could do some holiday oriented craft alongs, sharing ideas and the how-to's with each other?
Do you know how to dye? I'd like to make each of my kids cuddle blankets with silk on one side and velour or something like it on the other. I was thinking I'd dye the fabrics seperately in their favorite colors, or combos. WendyLouWho gave me this idea several months back and I thought it was a great one.
