Wanting to find something crafty that I can make!

Hi everyone. I see that there are quite a few threads on here for cards/baking/sock monkeys etc. I was hoping to try and find some inspiration as to what I can make to create lovely gifts!

I currently make cards and exploding boxes but I'd love to make some other items too to add to my selection but I'm struggling to come up with ideas. I don't have much money to buy more stock so preferably something which involves papers/embellishments or something which costs little to set up.

I'm interested to hear any of your ideas or to buddy up with someone to help go through the process of setting up new ideas!

    You have come to the right place! If you take a look at this post, it lists, in A-Z format, lots of threads we've had here, listing all kinds of things people have made. The Christmas ones will probably be of use as they have lots of different types of makes.

    Also, if you click on some forum member's user names you can go into their blogs where you will find lots of things they've made. From those you can 'bloghop' onto other blogs with more makes...

    HTH ;)
