      2. CHRISTMAS TREE SKIRT

      I had to share this project! This is the one I’m working on this fall for my holiday Christmas sewing projects as a gift for myself. I absolutely love creating using Moda fabrics and quilt-along youtube videos and tutorials from Fat Quarter Shop. I also love creating a holiday decor gift for myself every year.

      5. KNIT SCARVES

      Handmade Christmas Gifts to Make Early, Wandering Hoof Ranch

      This pattern is super simple, and yet has a beautiful end result that looks much more complicated than it truly is. It’s knitted in the round, and consists just of a knit and purl stitch. Nothing complicated and can knit for less than $20.

        This adorable sweater is also knitted in the round and only consists of a knit and purl stitch. From sizes 2T to Youth Med, and only takes 8 hours to complete, you could easily make one for all the adults and children on your list.

        8. HOMEMADE CANNING

        Handmade Christmas Gifts to Make Early, Wandering Hoof Ranch

        I always end up giving homemade canning to all of our grandparents along with some small handmade knitting or sewing projects and our annual Santa photos of the kids. They seem to enjoy them. Just add some ribbon, a handmade label and a cute little gift tag then call it done.

        9. HOMEMADE WINE

        Handmade Christmas Gifts to Make Early, Wandering Hoof Ranch

        During our fall harvest, we always end up sending left over fruit to the winery to make Christmas fruit wine or cider. It works out to about $4 a bottle. I made these rustic Christmas wine labels to add to them to give as hostess gifts over the holidays.

        10. HANDMADE WOODEN GAMES

        Handmade Christmas Gifts to Make Early, Wandering Hoof Ranch

        Have you ever wished you could make heirloom wooden games for your family or to give as gifts? Well, you can. 

        This family started making handmade gifts many years ago and every year someone decides to make a game as their gift. Needless to say, we’ve amassed quite a collection of handmade gifts. It’s a good thing, too, because we love playing games together.
