'Tis the Season

Around the holidays, I always see an explosion of festive projects popping up all around the internet. Oh, if only I had the time to make them all! And what better way to celebrate this year than to share some of my favorites with you?


My one proud crafty accomplishment this winter season has been these amazing Star Wars paper snowflakes! The instructions make them [almost] a cinch. Just grab your tiny scissors and cutting knife! See more after the jump.



Looking for something with a little more pop? Photojojo has instructions on how to use your own photos as wrapping paper!


Recycle some glass bottles to create your own unique menorah. I could see this project getting really interesting with different vintage bottle combinations and colors! There are instructions over at ReadyMade.


I am in love with this yarn ball ornament idea by ♥Elycia. Not only that, but our trees are the same colors. How could I not want these?!


And finally, perhaps this one isn't very holiday, but I do love curling up with a mug of hot cocoa and watching Home Alone! Check out the instructions to make your own chalkboard mug.

What great ideas have you come across this season?
