SERIOUS.

YOU’LL RUIN THE SURPRISED AND FANTASTICALLY HUGE GRIN I WORKED SO HARD TO ELICIT…..AND IF FOR ONE SECOND I EVEN THINK YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS, I’M GOING TO SWITCH YOUR PRESENTS TO LAST YEARS LEFT OVER CANDY CANES….(I have them)……WHICH AS YOU’LL SEE, DON’T EVEN COMPARE TO THE BEAUTIFUL HANDMADE PRESENTS I HAVE IN STORE FOR YOU.

So SERIOUSLY, Unless you like Rotten Candy covered in dead ants and little fuzzballs

DON’T EVEN PEEK

Here is an insane amount of blank space just to keep you honest………

Okay, For those of you who aren’t related to me here is a fantastic idea for a handmade christmas present this year. I found it over on Make it From Scratch, and I’m in love with this idea, because it fits my Top 3 requirements for Christmas presents:

#1, Simple
#2, Frugal
#3, Pretty

Trust me, once you see them, and how easy they are you’ll want to whip up a whole batch to give them as presents this year…..

And your sewing doesn’t even have to be perfect, it can be all crooked and still look cute:
