As I pointed out the other day, this holiday season will be a bit different for our family because we want to make it green this time. We will be celebrating a No New Gifts Christmas and that is so exciting. Our brains are already humming like busy bees, trying to invent wonderful projects that will make the recipient feel loved. I have been restlessly browsing through many a lovely DIYs and as much as I would like to gift my own handmade soaps, that will not happen this year because I still haven't had the courage to start learning to make them.
Cross your fingers for next Christmas though, or maybe even Easter, why not! So, sticking to what I already can do, here is the list of my favorite sustainable projects so far that I could turn into gifts.

Our first ornament pattern is Layer Play (click here or on the images for PDF pattern). This is a very easy pattern with which to get rolling. Quick note about the pattern: Step 8 calls for sewing the 2 black circles of felt (the last, largest layer) together. Update: The template at the end of the book (page 122) simply includes a 1-inch diameter circle. Check back in this week for lots of Christmas-related links and projects.
