Spend, spend and spend. From the decoration to the clothes we are going to wear, passing through the gifts. Everything around Christmas is based on spending money to spend a good holiday. But it’s possible to have a great Christmas doing it yourself. This year opts for a Christmas handmade.
Do it all yourself. The decor, everyone’s Christmas gifts and the clothes you’ll wear for all the holidays and Christmas meetings.
What you need to do first is decorate so it’s ready for Christmas. You have an entry I made for it here.
The next thing we have to do with a little anticipation for our Christmas handmade, is the clothes that we are going to take for the parties as much of company as of family.
Clothes for a Christmas handmade
A garment that you can not miss for Christmas is the typical Christmas print sweater, but this one that I propose is something different. The back is slightly longer and being a longer than normal jersey you can wear it as a dress with leggins or thick socks and jeans and high boots.
This outfit will become one of your favorites because the sweater is easy and quick to make and in two afternoons you will have it done. If you want a Christmas print but you can’t find an elastic knitted fabric or a fleece lining that you like because it’s childish, you can use your own design. I usually use the Spoonflower website using a design from the website itself. You choose the fabric you want, and they print it for you. And you have a unique and perfect fabric for your projects. If you live in Spain you have the web printingfabrics with many fabrics to choose and prints on the web and your own creations.
Another must-have is a long fur pajama. Also with Christmas print. Sure you won’t take it off all winter.
Formal Christmas handmade
And we have already started with the most formal clothing for company and family dinners. A christmas dress inspired by mama Noel or the elves. You can use red fabric with black and white trims or green fabric with red and white trims. You already have the ideal dress for Christmas.
Now we have the presents. If you know how to knit or crochet, you have already solved the gifts. And also your accessories so you don’t get cold. You can make socks if you have something more level or a scarf, closed necks or hats if you want something simpler.
And here you’d have all your Christmas handmade. Without spending a lot of money and you’ll feel great about yourself for having done something with your own hands. You’ll see when people see you in your beautiful dress or open their Christmas presents.
