DIY Craft Gifts and Stocking Stuffers: Part 3

With October here, I'm feeling the pressure to get busy if I'm going to create any Christmas gifts. Here are some ideas I've been looking at (Note; All of these can also be purchased and I'll post the links for those). Also, links for Parts 1 and 2 are at the bottom of the post:

Hand Warmers

Here are some inviting, Christmas-style hand warmers which can be purchased online.

But if you want to make your own, here's a link to the instructions for some easy-to-make (and pretty) ones.

Coiled Hot Pads (Trivet)

But you can also make your own, and here are the instructions for a very pretty hot pad. No sewing required.
