Behind the Scenes : Handmade Holiday Week!

Posted by

This coming week is Handmade Holiday week at The Martha Stewart Show and we'll be bringing you all new episodes detailing how to add that extra special touch to your holiday giving. From homemade photo cards and festively-stamped gift wrap to easy-to-make jewelry and unique fabric crafts, we have lots of great ideas to make this holiday season one to remember, without breaking the bank or eating into your valuable time.

With appearances from the likes of in-house crafters Hosanna Houser, Kristin St. Clair, Kirsten Earl & Hannah Milman,  author and P.S.-I made This... fashion-crafting blogger Erica Domesek, sisters Julianna, Jade, Jamie & Janae of The Letter 4 Blog, and last year's Remarthable Contest finalist Kari Tarr, you won't want to miss a single show!

Check out the photo gallery below for a preview of the week's offerings!
