  1. Pat, you really do find some wonderful ways to spend time getting ready for the holidays. I can just imagine parents and children spending an afternoon and evening doing some of these crafts or grandparents too! What a wonderful way to make some great memories and spend quality time with the family! Thanks for your suggestions and review!

  2. I love all of the Christmas kits you have featured Elf, but I am especially drawn to the bird feeders this year. They look like the perfect project for our family crafting time this year, plus they would feed my mom's birds. Thank you for including my stocking kit. It is one of my favorites.

  3. These DIY Christmas crafts are a wonderful idea. I've never bought any of these type of things, but I think the way the world is right now, tasks like this can not only be fun, but also therapeutic. A good project before Christmas, but also makes creative gifts for Christmas day, or for when your a guest and want to bring a gift.

  4. Elf, I have always loved making special gifts by hand. I came by my love of crafting and “making” honestly from my mom, and these craft kits would be wonderful gifts, especially when paired with the gift of time, togetherness and help if the recipient is new to crafting or young enough to benefit from supervision.

    Like everyone else, it seems, I especially love the bird feeder kit. So clever, and a gift that keeps on giving as the recipient gets to watch the birds their handiwork attracts outside their window!

  5. Am I too old for the Christmas Bird Feeder kit? I am one who has always preferred to purchase creative kits to gift the children in my life. I might have to borrow some youngsters this holiday season so I can make these bird feeders. Thanks for the great suggestions.
