CONTENTS

INTRODUCTION

There is something magical, endearing, charming, and so heartfelt about the handmade, the homemade. Since the very first issue of Martha Stewart Living, it has been a priority to develop, design, and createwith our very own handsevocative, personal, and beautiful objects that illustrate our love of, and dedication to, the celebration of the holidays.

Over the years, our crafts editors have been involved in the planning and making of thousands of amazing things that speak to our celebration of Christmas, Hanukkah, New Years, and many other significant days throughout the calendar year. We have made untold numbers of Valentines, not only those meant for that special someone but also for children and colleagues and caregivers, and even for cats! We have dyed and decorated so many different eggs for Easter that we long ago lost count, but we havent stopped thinking of beautiful new ways to embellish them. We have draped miles of stars-and-stripes-covered bunting and flags and swags over fences and railing and porches, all to proudly display our patriotism every Independence Day. We have made turkeyslots of themin honor of our national celebration of thanks: pom-pom turkeys, gilded resin turkeys, and so many more. And you cant imagine how many different things weve glittered for the holidays!

In this book, you will find the best of that assortment with fine illustrations, glorious photographs, and clear instructions showing you, step by step, how to fashion each wonderful object. This is a special book for people whose fingers itch to make and do, and I think that by completing these projects, our appreciation of the holidays and their real meaning, both religious and secular, is enhanced and invigorated. Enjoy!

Around the world, across the globe, the arrival of a new year marks the passage of time. The countdown to midnight is a celebration of the ephemeral, allowing us at once to look back with nostalgia and to look aheadhappily, hopefully, expectantly. New Years festivities often focus on grand gestures: dressing up in black-tie, watching the ball drop, opening a bottle of bubbly. Yet crafting for New Years is less about large-scale moments than it is about the personal touches that can set your fte apart from the endless stream of others. In other words, its all in the details. With just a few inexpensive, easily accessible items, you can fashion with bright and cheerful paper garlands, streamers, and other fun, festive accoutrements is designed to help capture the spirit of this enchanted evening, however briefly. The magic of New Yearslike the bubbles that rise from a Champagne glass, and like time itselfis fleeting. Grab it while you can.

FOR HORNS AND NOISEMAKERS Cut a piece of tissue paper into a 2-inch-wide strip that is long enough to wrap around the horn or noisemaker several times. With a pair of fringe or regular scissors, trim the paper along a long side, stopping a half-inch from the other long side. Wrap around the horn and secure with washi tape. Use a star-shaped punch to form stars from metallic card stock. Affix stars to horns or noisemakers with a glue dot.

FOR CONFETTI BAGS Trim a piece of card stock the same size of the base of your confetti bag. (Since confetti is so light, the card stock placed in the bottom of the cellophane bag will help the bag keep its shape.) Fill the bag with confetti. Fold top of bag over once. Punch two -inch holes side-by-side in the top of the bag. Lace a piece of raffia (or thin ribbon or twine) through the holes to secure the bag. Run the ribbon through a metal-rimmed paper tag, wrap it around the noisemaker to attach to top of the bag, and tie a bow to secure.
