60 New Trimmed Gift Ideas

A fresh collection of sixty trimmed‑gift projects invites crafters of all abilities to create charming, handmade presents without the need for fancy equipment. Each idea is presented with clear, conversational instructions that walk you through measuring, cutting, and stitching, while offering handy alternatives for trim choices so you can customize the look to suit any occasion.

You’ll discover projects such as coordinated mother‑and‑daughter net aprons, glittering holiday stockings, and a festive “NOEL” banner that all use radiant metallic braids, rick‑rack, and colorful ribbons. The guide supplies just the right amount of detail—what fabrics and trims to gather, the sequence of steps, and little tricks for shaping and securing embellishments—so you can follow along while listening and picture each piece coming together.

Beyond the patterns, the book shares tips on arranging ornaments, attaching loops for hanging, and mixing textures to add personality. By the end of the first half you’ll feel confident enough to start stitching, gluing, and shaping your own unique gifts that sparkle with personal flair.
