And when the making itself is <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/angels-and-miracles\/miracles\/gods-grace\/handmade-crafts-that-created-miracles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">relaxing and satisfying, <\/a>the gifting is that much more joyful.<\/p>\n<p>What makes a relaxing craft? To me, one that meets three criteria:<\/p>\n<p class=\"rteindent1\">&#8211;It must involve materials that are pleasing to handle and work with.<br \/>\n&#8211;It must be easy yet require enough of my attention to let me get \u201clost\u201d in it.<br \/>\n&#8211;I must be able to complete it in a short period of time.<\/p>\n<p>Often, I\u2019ll bake gifts for my neighbors and friends. Last year, I made loaves of chocolate-y, decadent babka for my friends. I loved baking them, but just as much, I loved packing them up for gifting\u2014wrapping each loaf in cellophane and tying it with a cheerful ribbon. Now\u00a0<em>that<\/em>\u00a0was relaxing.<\/p>\n<p>So this year, I\u2019m thinking about easy, low-stress gift ideas that will satisfy my desire to stay <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/better-living\/emotional-and-mental-health\/7-winter-crafts-to-boost-your-mood\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">calm and joy-filled throughout the holiday season.<\/a> Here are some possibilities I\u2019m playing with.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mason Jar Kits<\/strong><br \/>\nA lidded Mason jar (or Ball jar, or any jar!) is a gift-maker\u2019s blank canvas, <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/4-fun-and-easy-crafts-to-make-with-leaves\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ready to decorate with glued-on autumn leaves,<\/a> small seashells, cloth or paint. But it\u2019s also a terrific vessel to fill with the makings of a DIY moment for the recipient of your gift. Line up a row of clean, dry jars and fill them with layered, pre-measured ingredients for granola, brownies, soup, potpourri or even salad dressing (minus the liquid). Attach a card with instructions on how to finish and enjoy, and know that your loved one will have the gift of a relaxing activity of their own.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dot Painting<\/strong><br \/>\nA smooth stone, a tile or a found piece of wood can be your launch pad for a relaxing and beautiful piece of art your friends and family will love to receive. Pick up some paints in your favorite colors, and purchase a set of \u201cdotting tools\u201d from a craft store (you can get a good set for $10 or even less). Paint a solid color as a backdrop and then use the tools to make patterns\u2014stars, circles, swirls, smaller dots inside larger ones or anything your imagination illuminates for you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>String Art<\/strong><br \/>\nSometimes, the most \u201crelaxing\u201d activity is the one that gives us the chance to smack something with a hammer. String art is an easy way to scratch that itch. A piece of wood, a pile of flat-topped nails and some colorful cross-stitch floss or other thin yarn are all that\u2019s needed for this pleasing craft.<\/p>\n<p>Tap your nails into the wood just so they\u2019re secure\u2014you can outline your gift recipient\u2019s initial, or <a href=\"https:\/\/sugarbeecrafts.com\/diy-heart-string-art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">make a heart like this sweet example.<\/a>\u00a0Then tap nails around the border of your wood, and start looping your string or yarn around each nail, either all in one color, or in a multi-colored pattern of your choosing. Before long, you\u2019ll see your shape in the middle of a colorful background that you got to chill out while making.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/crafting-at-home-3-easy-ways-to-get-started\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What are some relaxing crafts <\/a>you\u2019re making as holiday gifts this year?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Homemade holiday gifts are such treasures to give and receive.
