There's something about the holidays that brings out the craftiness in people. Not sinister, mustache-twirling craftiness — we're talking homemade kind of crafty. Whether it's out of nostalgia, combatting the holiday commercialism, or just because winter is a good time for long (cr)afternoons gluing/sewing/welding things in front of the fireplace (or a Yule log on your laptop screen, in my case), this time of year makes the non-crafty start to consider taking up a hobby and the already-crafty reveling in how excited everyone gets for something homemade. Here are some gift ideas that will please people who like making stuff themselves.
