Handmade Christmas Gifts

We had fun creating handmade Christmas gifts this year for several family members.

To give Will and Erik's brother, David, something to "hang around" in at college, we made them each hammocks this year for Christmas. We found a great tutorial online for an easy way to secure the fabric to the climbing rope and then used the alpine butterfly knot to secure each end to the wall.



Will and Erik set up the hammock in the loft of the McKinzie's carriage house, where he will be sleeping for the next couple of days (there's quite a full house already!). We'll find out how comfortable it is.





There are a few more photos of other items coming on a later post.... :)
