Today From Jen Hubley, your About Today Editor Christmas has to be the favorite holiday of crafters everywhere. There are so many chances to make stuff during the holidays. And if you're a moderately disorganized person, as I am, you might even find that you have to do-it-yourself. (The year I taped everyone's presents together with gaffer tape comes to mind.) DIY Ornament Projects and Ideas A better year: The year I made everyone ornaments for their presents. I tend to build sturdy things, so they wound up weighing about five pounds apiece. Indestructible, festive, and usable as a weapon in case of emergency!
