HOLIDAY GIFTS THAT KEEP ON GIVING

This holiday season, with a family-forward focus on indoor activities and experiences it’s a great time to learn a new skill, forge a new hobby, or just plain-old create something together.

The art of making has been a deeply revered process that has been passed down and shared through generations. For many, their grandparents were makers, and their grandparents parents were makers, and likely so were their grandparents before them.

With the chilly weather rolling in, now is as good a time as any to start a new family tradition that could last lifetimes.

Not only is making a creative pastime, but it also offers a lucrative benefit and the opportunity for creativity, connection, and just good old fashioned fun. And couldn’t we all use a little more of that these days!

Here are some of our favorite ways to create DIY projects with your family this quarantined holiday season.
