Christmas is my absolute favorite time of year! Not only does the season bring incredible memories with my family, but I also love making our holidays handmade with lots of creative Christmas projects.
I love the adorable and cozy projects, the sentimental gifts, and the overall generosity and creativity of the season. There is nothing like receiving a thoughtful gift from a loved one… or making the personalized gift for the people closest to you. Personally, I love receiving handmade items because I feel like they show more thought and effort than a store-bought one. So to kick off the holiday season, here are over 40 incredible creative Christmas tutorials from CFB and other bloggers around the internet.
Read on to find amazing ideas to decorate your home, entertain holiday guests, and get your own creative juices flowing. To see the full tutorial, just click the photo itself or link below the image. Enjoy!
