Even though these DIY Christmas decorations are great for adding a festive touch to your own home, there’s nothing saying you can’t give them as gifts as well!  Who wouldn’t love a beautifully hand-made table runner?  And the Ruffled Christmas Wreath would make a lovely gift if you’re going to a winter housewarming party.
