Welcome to this week’s Handmade Monday. Handmade Monday is our weekly link up, where creative bloggers can share craft ideas, tutorials, recipes etc. Take a few minutes out of your busy day and enjoy perusing the creative ideas and inspiration.

I’ll be joining the 12 Days of Cookies, Christmas cookie blog hop this week. My day will be Wednesday when I’ll be sharing a cookie recipe full of Christmassy flavours plus all the links to the other 11 cookie recipes.

Now let’s just check out the features from last week’s Handmade Monday.

Click through on the photos to see the original posts.

• Remember if you want to pin any of these ideas please make sure you click through via the photo to the original project.

Artsy Karma showed us how to make these sweet little ornaments from matchboxes.

This wooden tree decoration from DIY dreamers is amazing.

You know I can’t resist a clever upcycle idea, so I love these beautiful tree ornaments made from old books by Pillar Box Blue.

Congratulations to you all. There is a "YAY I was featured" button over here if you want to add one to your blog.

A like on social media, a comment or share is an easy way for us all to help to support one another so please do take a moment to visit some of the other projects linked up this week. It’s not mandatory to be able to join in here, there’s no easy way to check if you did but it costs nothing but a few minutes of your time and is just a nice thing to do!  

The rules for Handmade Monday are very simple:

• Did you make it? Yes - then yay! We'd love to see it

• Add the link to a specific post, not your main blog url

• You can link up to 3 posts each week but try to make sure it's not something that you've shared here before

• Mingle - visit some other links - comment - share - be social

HANDMADE MONDAY IS NOT A PLACE FOR SELLING SO NO LINKS TO ETSY OR OTHER SELLING PAGES, THEY WILL ALWAYS BE REMOVED. THANKS

If you are not sure of anything more details can be found here.

At Handmade Monday the links are shown in a random order so it’ll look different each time you pop by.
