Christmas Crafts in July

Stocking Stuffers for Christmas Morning.
These needlepoint stockings are by far my greatest holiday craft ever. I made them years ago, and each one took a year (although I only worked on them a few nights a week) to make!

Every July, when I start seeing Christmas in July posts, I usually think, “No! The last thing I want to think about is Christmas!”. As expected, I had that thought a few weeks ago.

But then I started thinking. If I made two Christmas crafts for each month, July through November, I would have ten, yes TEN new holiday crafts to share for the holidays.

Now that caught my attention! I have already started creating my project idea list, and even though you won’t see any crafts for five months, you can know that I will be secretly crafting behind the scenes.

(It’s just like the book I wrote that I kept a secret for 18 months … hehehe.)

I went through my holiday crafts and picked out some of my favorites for you to make. I hope they stir your DIY creative interest!

  1. I love your craft ideas and was getting ready to subscribe to your blog—and then I saw you’re affiliated with a mega control freak known as Google. Sorry

  2. Love these ideas…when I checked out the mercury glass ornaments (I love mercury glass, too), the tutorial for making them wasn’t there — but rather a message saying that it as no longer available. Can you please repost it?? I want to give it a try!

  3. I can do Christmas in July here in Texas! Would love, love for you to create a Christmas card, I know you would have so many wonderful ideas. Those white, flocked trees are my aim this year, they are timeless and would make great gifts.

  4. I ordered the placemats & picked out Christmas carol phrases, but having trouble picking out a font! Can you please tell me which one you used in your placemats! Thanks!
