Once the holiday season rolls around, it's time to break out your decorations and begin putting gifts under the tree. Instead of buying impersonal ones from the store, make them yourself! Mollie Makes Christmas is here to help. From the creators of the Mollie Makes magazine, a craft magazine dedicated to doing things the handmade way, this book features over 20 projects to help you deck the halls and make meaningful gifts for all your friends and family.

Unlike other craft books with plain pictures and instructions, Mollie Makes Christmas is full of fun graphics that make it look like a little scrapbook. With each project you get a brief biography on the designer, high-quality photographs, and easy-to-read instructions. They even include fun, little tip tags on the bottom of the page with helpful hints on which gauge to use, fabric or paper choice to make, and more. They put just as much effort into giving the book an exciting and festive look as they did finding fun and creative crafts to feature inside.

Mollie Makes Christmas features truly unique projects. You could crochet a Santa Kit, featuring a little mince pie and drink for Santa and carrots for his four-legged friends, or you could create a Santa Tote for a friend or family member. The book features a variety of DIY Christmas decorations for your kitchen to your living room, and plenty of crafts you can make to give as gifts. There's also a variety of crafting skills used. From knitting and crochet, to paper crafts and sewing, there's something here for everyone.

If you're looking for one-of-a-kind Christmas craft book, then this is definitely for you. Full of fun pictures, clear instructions, and unique designs, this book is a Christmas craft wonderland. Let Mollie Makes Christmas help you go handmade for the holidays!
