SHOW & TELL: Handmade Shop Holiday Gift Guide 2015

Every year I host a link up for Etsy and Handmade Shops. This was the third year and even though I didn’t get as may shops linking up, there was still plenty of gorgeous handmade items shared. So, without further ado, here are the featured products that make up the 3rd Annual Handmade Shop Gift Guide.

Scroll through this slideshow and check out the individual products below.

NOTIONS: Craft Supplies on Etsy

One of my favorite places to find inspiration and craft supplies is Etsy. It’s my go to place if I need a specific item or a small amount of something. Etsy has an entire craft supply category and it’s fantastic. Paper straws, no problem. You can find them in a rainbow of colors. I needed them for a project and didn’t want to run all over town so I ordered them from Etsy. The same with glassine bags. You can order these in bulk or source them from another store, but on Etsy I can pretty much find any size and any quantity I want.

I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite items. I’ve shopped at some of the stores that I’m featuring but not all of them. However, all the shops featured here today have hundreds if not thousands of positive reviews.

INKLING: Ephemera, Origami & Rice Paper {fusion}

If you’re a scrapbooker or paper crafter, you probably know what ephemera is. They’re bits of paper typically used in paper crafting. The actual definition is: things that are important or useful for only a short time: items that were not meant to have lasting value:  paper items (as posters, broadsides, and tickets) that were originally meant to be discarded after use but have since become collectibles. I love these pretty little bits of book pages and other tidbits.

CELEBRATIONS: handmade market holiday gift guide

It's finally here. I’m so excited to share with you The first HANDMADE MARKET Holiday Gift Guide. The handmade products featured in this gift guide have been compiled from shops that linked up to my Handmade Market link party a few weeks ago. The party was a huge success and I’m excited to host future handmade market link ups. I’m happy to support handmade for the holidays and year round.

Show & Tell: handmade market - link party

Welcome to homework's first annual Handmade Market link party. Throughout the year, the majority of link parties welcome crafts, diy, recipes, decor and other creative projects but often ask that you refrain from linking your shops. Now it's your turn to market your handmade or Etsy shop with the chance to be featured in a Holiday Gift Guide that I will put together from selected link ups.
