Favorite Purl Bee DIY projects – Holiday Edition!

December 4, 2013

DIY supplies

Are you making any of your holiday gifts by hand? I tend to make at least a few gifts each year, although I never seem to have enough time, and end up buying the rest of my gifts on Etsy or at local craft fairs and holiday markets (like Renegade!) When I do have some free time to work on DIY projects, I love to turn to The Purl Bee, one of my favorite DIY project resources, for inspiration.

If you’re like me, and are starting the holiday season with the best intentions to make your gifts by hand, maybe these DIY projects from The Purl Bee will get you started!

If you knit:

purl bee knitting projects

Worsted Twist Seed Stitch Scarf / Super Soft Merino Hats

If you sew:

liberty potholders

Liberty Hot Pads – because no one can resist a liberty pattern (including me)

Do you have any DIY projects planned? Do you prefer to buy all your gifts, make them all, or a blend of both? Don’t forget about my tutorials for hand stamped gift wrap and furoshiki gift wrapping, to wrap your projects once they’re finished!
