DIY Knit Vase Covers without the Knitting from Kara Paslay Designs here. This became a doable project when I realized there was no knitting involved (I only knit things I can’t afford to buy already made) and I could possibly dress up jars with gifts inside with single socks and gloves.

Truebluemeandyou: Have you seen my Chirstmas/Holiday Blog? Lots of cheap handmade DIYs will be going up that be can be made in bulk or for charity/fund raising projects. EDIT: I keep looking at that one sock and thinking of Dobby. Anyone else?
