Gifts made by hand are an endearing way to
capture the holiday spirit. According to
Hobby Industries of America, personal gift
creations convey warmth and,feeling that
will be remembered for a long toile.
Elegant, stylish craft items, easy to
make, are wonderful gifts for women of all
ages. Fashion accessories such as beaded
necklaces and decoupage bracelets give to-
day's clothing an up-to-date look in minutes.
Fashionable accessories
Wood, ceramic, paper or plastic beads
combined with yarn, string or ribbon create
glamorous and chic neckwear. For added
effect, try coordinating necklace designs
with favorite wardrobe colors and styles.
Decoupage bracelets are also beautiful,
inexpensive accessories that are simple to
create. Applying decorative paper to
bracelet frames and then adding a high lac-
quer finish means giftmakers can design a
different braceletof r every fashion occa-
sion.
The holiday season is never complete
without wreaths, tree ornaments and other
Christmas decorations that brighten up the
home. Ribbon, fabric and yarns are some of
the many different materials used to make
beautiful and festive pieces that will be
treasured for many future holidays.

lr'or the hostess
Attending part cis and visiting friends is a
favorite holiday tradition. Now, a token gift
for the hosts doesn't need to strain the
budget.
Beautiful baskets of fabric flowers in a
variety of floral arrangements are lovely
ways to evoke the freshness of spring
throughout the dreary winter season and ex-
press thanks for hospitality.
Many women on the gift list are experts
with crafts such as needlepoint,, cross stitch,
embroilery and knitting. But all too often
their pre -holiday energy is used making
gifts for others.
Surprise them with materials for a project
all their own, whether yarn and a sweater
pattern or a unique painted cross stitch pic-
ture to hang in a bedroom.
Youngsters also love to work with their
hands and starter craft sets provide an ex-
cellent way to teach craft techniques.
Doll making, needlepoint, rug hooking
and crocheting are all easy to learn and
loads of fun to practice. Beginner sets are
available for all ages and skill levels.
The best part of gift -giving each year is
choosing items that will have special mean-
ing for many Christmas seasons to come.
Homemade gifts and craft sets are terrific
ways to express joy and warmth that will
last all year round.
