What’s your most favorite time of the year?
Mine is Christmas. But not for all the reasons you might guess.
The days leading to Christmas are when my creative juices are at an all-time high. You can usually find a mess somewhere in my home because I’m creating a storm of home decor and handmade Christmas ornaments and gifts. And when I’m creating… I couldn’t be happier.
Whether you’re creative, crafty, or simply wannabe… you will want to grab your favorite drink, get your pinning finger ready, and get prepared to be inspired…. 31 times!
31 Easy Handmade Christmas Ornaments to Make
If you missed it, my handmade Easy to Make Sailboat Christmas Ornament was featured, too.
I’ve been in love with sailboats forever, and so when I was deciding how to decorate my nautical Christmas tree last year, I knew that handmade sailboats would steal the show for sure. You can see how beautifully the tree came together here.
I did all the figuring for you. Just follow my super easy tutorial and you’ll have a fleet of boats under sail in no time.
These driftwood sailboats can be made in any size and will make fabulous package toppers and gifts for the lake-lover or sailor on your Christmas list.
