Hey all you Crafty People out there! Its getting close to the holidays, and every year I end up making up sets of crafty gifts for friends, co-workers, etc.
This year I've decided on ...
1. Katamari Puzzle Balls: with catnip stuffing for friends with cats, or stuffed with good smelling stuff for drawers or as room fresheners. They look like this, and are about the size of a tennis ball. I plan to use nicer looking fabric than these (prolly tapestry fabric), but these were the prototypes and i made them with felt ....

And some more ...

2. Sun Catchers: Dangling things with beads and glass for windows or doors (dont have a picture of the prototype yet....) - its made up of invisible line, with beads and bits of shaped glass, and hangs about a foot and a half in length. I know, not the best description ever -- will try to get a pic!
3. I don't know? I'm undecided on what else to make (candles, bath bombs, soap, etc.)
So... the question: Any recommendations / thoughts / ideas from you crafty folks out there on what else I can make?
Thanks!
