100 + Handmade Christmas Ornaments Hand Embroidery + Watercolor {Tutorial}

Take a relaxing weekend this Christmas and make up a batch of these ornaments. You don't likely need or desire to make 100, unless you are an artist or maker and want to make them for your next market. Try a handful or a dozen. They are a joy to make in small batches.  They make delightful gifts. You can also use them as gift tags and write a special note or date on the back. I've linked the tutorial below if you'd like to get creative and make some!

 

How to Paint a Watercolor Christmas Card w/ Gift Card Slot

How to Paint a Watercolor Christmas Card w/ Gift Card Slot
Let's admit it, almost everyone gives and receives gift cards these days.  And while we all appreciate and love using gift cards, there is typically something that falls a little flat with them.  They often times feel a little impersonal, or a little last minute. It's not intention.  I believe the best of intentions are to be had.  Thankfully, it's not that difficult to add a thoughtful touch to the art of giving a gift card.  A hand painted card shows that you put a little thought and time into giving a gift card that is more personalized and charming.  They are easier to make than you might think too!
