Unfortunately, there's a fine line between "thanks for putting all your time and energy into this, but I'll never really use this" and "wow, thanks for taking time out to make this because as soon as you saw this you thought of me and knew I'd get some use out of it."
So, when I saw a Tea Wreath tutorial during my crafty gift hunt on Pinterest, I immediately knew I had found a useful and thoughtful handmade gift idea--specifically for my mom-in-law and sister-in-law, both avid tea drinkers.
The craft was super cheap, and amazingly simple.
Here is a link to the full tutorial: Tea Wreath Tutorial.
And believe it or not, I actually remembered to take a few pictures while I was making mine!

Did you make or receive any homemade gifts for Christmas or your birthday? I'd love to hear about them and what you think about making and receiving homemade gifts!
Love,
