Welcome to the 4th Annual Handmade Holidays Blog Hop! A few years ago we were looking online for handmade gift ideas and thought it would be great if there was a resource dedicated JUST to handmade gift ideas. Enter the Handmade Holidays hop! We've gathered over 100 of our creative blogger friends in the craft industry as well as some of our fellow product manufacturers to bring you a plethora of inspiring gift ideas you can make now to give to your friends, family, and colleagues. Pin and bookmark these ideas for this holiday season and to use throughout the year! Each day of the hop features approximately 30 gift projects and you can “hop” from one blog to another to check them all out.

Do you have a friend who just needs to relax? Give her a relaxing gift set to remind her to take time out for herself! Today I am sharing a super fun and cozy owl themed gift set that you can create for under $20! This set contains everything your friend needs to relax – comfy slippers, a cute coffee cup with cozy, and a gift card holder with a gift card inside. Well, the gift card will cost ya more than $20… you can even put more than one gift card inside. I am thinking Barnes & Noble and Starbucks' would be a good combo…

This set includes a gift card holder:

… a pair of slippers with detachable Rowlux owls…

… and a coffee cup with an owl sleeve/cozy!

I made a handy dandy video sharing how to make this project – you can totally make this in one night!! The sewing part is optional – you can use adhesive instead. Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L EZ Refillable Permanent Dots for Scrapbooking, 49-Feet work really well with Rowlux – other adhesive can be seen through the Rowlux Illusion Film.
