✂️ How to safely use our Sizzix machines and steel-rule dies

🎄 How to transform everyday felt shapes into festive ornaments, decorations, and gifts
💡 Creative ways to combine unexpected shapes into something completely new
✨ Tips and tricks for making your handmade holiday ideas a reality
✨ The Holiday Vibe:
Part Santa's workshop. Part creative playground. Part "wait just a freakin minute... I can put those pieces together?!?!?!?!?"
Imagine a table covered in colorful felt, a mountain of tiny shapes, and a room full of makers dreaming up their next holiday masterpiece.
Dig through the felt scraps. Discover a billion new dies you didn't even know existed. Cut a ridiculous number of tiny stars (it's fun just ask Brittany). Make an ornament for someone special. Start with a snow globe and somehow end up with a disco ball wearing a Santa hat.
Get inspired by the person sitting next to you. Make something sentimental. Make something ridiculous. Make something wonderfully, uniquely YOU.
There will be plenty of examples to spark your imagination and friendly staff nearby when you need a helping hand, but what you create is entirely up to you.
No assigned projects. No cookie-cutter crafts. No rules about what holiday magic has to look like.
Just felt, festive fun, and an unreasonable number of possibilities! 🎄✂️✨
🎄 Need a Little Spark of Holiday Creativity? ✨
Not sure where to start? We've got a sleigh-full of festive shapes and possibilities just waiting for your imagination!
From classic Christmas favorites to whimsical winter wonders, our collection of felt-cutting dies is packed with inspiration for ornaments, garlands, handmade gifts, and all sorts of merry little masterpieces.
Here's just a peek at the holiday magic you can create:
🎅 Santa & His Helpers – Jolly Santas, adorable elves, and festive little characters
🍪 Gingerbread Goodies – Gingerbread people, candy-covered cottages, and sweet little holiday villages
❄️ Winter Wonderland – Intricate snowflakes, snow globes, and frosty winter scenes
🎄 Christmas Classics – Christmas trees, nutcrackers, and traditional holiday ornaments
🧤 Cozy Winter Favorites – Mini mittens, Nordic hearts, and charming Scandinavian-inspired decorations
✨ Merry & Bright – Retro lights, ornaments, stars, and colorful holiday garlands
🌿 Festive Florals – Poinsettias, holly, mistletoe, and seasonal greenery
🐴 Whimsical Wonders – Dala horses, woodland mushrooms, magical creatures, and unexpected holiday surprises
🎁 Gift-Giving Goodies – Personalized gift tags, handmade embellishments, and one-of-a-kind stocking stuffers
🪩 A Little Holiday Mischief – Disco balls, funky ornaments, and whatever wonderfully weird holiday creation your imagination dreams up!
And that's just the beginning!
Mix and match shapes, layer colors, add embroidery, and turn the unexpected into something extraordinary. A mushroom with a Santa hat? Absolutely. A disco ball Christmas ornament? Obviously. An entire gingerbread village? Now we're talking!
Whether your holiday aesthetic is traditional, whimsical, or full blown holiday chaos, there's something here to spark your creativity.
The holiday season is handmade at Makeshift! ❤️🎄
