Step-by-step instructions and high-quality photos make crafting and cooking a breeze for people of all skill levels. From garlands and ornaments to cookies and gingerbread houses you'll find plenty of ideas in this book.

Author Susan Waggoner loves the holidays, and it shows. Her writing credits include It’s a Wonderful Christmas, Under the Tree, Christmas Memories, and Have Yourself a Very Vintage Christmas. In Handcrafted Christmas, Waggoner delves into Christmas traditions, providing readers with new insight to beloved holiday pastimes. 

Set the mood for your holiday celebration with handmade decorations. Every project has a charming, down-home style that is perfect for a nostalgic holiday like Christmas. For instance, the napkin rings and punched-tin votive holders make for a stunning table setting without the price tag. All of the projects in this collection call for commonplace materials like Mod Podge, glue, glitter, clay, and paint, potentially saving a trip to the local craft store.

Handcrafted Christmas doesn't stop at crafts, however. Cookies are a must-make at Christmastime, especially for fans of cookie exchanges. Delight friends and family members with a batch of homemade macaroons, lace cookies, pecan tasties, butter coins, and more. With Handcrafted Christmas at your side, you can make this December the best one yet.
