Last Minute Gifts You Can Make In Less Than 3 Hours

Make this beautiful bracelet - tutorial at SewCraftCreate.com

Christmas is around the corner and we're all scrambling to finish our shopping. Some people are so hard to buy for, they have everything they need, you know it and they know it, but you still want to give them something because you love or appreciate them.

For those hard-to-buy-for people in your life, have you ever thought about giving a handmade gift? If you can sew, a handmade gift is the ultimate treasure. Even if it isn't perfect, your special person will know you took time to craft it yourself, and giving your time is one of the greatest expressions of love and gratitude you can give.

I scoured the internet for these wonderful gift items you can sew in less than three hours and the patterns or instructions are free. Hope you can use one for your special someone.
