Making can be such an addictive pastime, hobby, interest, sometimes we fly with our own ideas, other times we love to be inspired, to have instructions. Today I am sharing with you my gift guide for creative people. Included are PDF patterns, kits to beautiful supplies to create with.
PDF patterns are so versatile, print them, and gift in a beautifully styled envelope with photographs showcasing the finished item, alternatively make up the item yourself and gift it.
All these gifts are from Etsy (with affiliate links), supporting small independent businesses.
