Winter DIY Projects for adults
9 things to make for Winter, most searched first. Every one shows the level, the time and the cost before you start.
Chunky hand-knit blanket
A squishy oversized throw knit with your hands, no needles, in one long movie night.
Rolled beeswax candles
Honey-scented candles rolled from honeycomb beeswax sheets, no melting, no heat and no mess.
Hand-dipped beeswax tapers
A pair of tall honey-gold taper candles built up one dip at a time, the old way, slow and oddly calming.
Paper bag star lanterns
Big, glowing Scandinavian-style paper stars made from white lunch bags, the cheapest dramatic Christmas decor there is.
Hot cocoa mix gift jars
Layered jars of rich homemade cocoa mix and mini marshmallows, with a tag that says exactly how to make a mug.
Peppermint bark
Layers of dark and white chocolate topped with crushed candy canes, a holiday gift that tastes like the expensive tins.
Dried orange slice garland
Glowing, stained-glass orange slices strung with cinnamon sticks and bay leaves, the classic old-fashioned Christmas garland.
Rustic blanket ladder
A 6 ft leaning ladder with dowel rungs for throws and quilts, with real drilled joints that stay tight.
Fresh evergreen wreath
A full, fragrant wreath built from bundles of real fir, cedar and pine, better than store wreaths at a fraction of the price.
