I&#8217;m also looking forward to the holiday season! If you&#8217;ve kept up with my content, you know I love arts and crafts. For Christmas this year, my housemate and I decorated stockings for our friend group. Stuffed with candy and other goodies, the stockings looked great adorned in glitter glue. I also enjoyed making handmade ornaments. The snowflake ornaments still need ribbon, but the only materials required for these\u2014besides the wooden base\u2014were white paint, glitter glue, and sharpie. Handmade ornaments are a wonderful craft to give as a gift because of how unique, collectible, and personalized they are. They are more than decorations for a Christmas tree, as they capture meaning and memories. I messed up these last two, but the process was fun, and the recipients enjoyed them.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18356\" src=\"http:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211210_151052.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"543\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211210_151052.jpg 3024w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211210_151052-300x234.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211210_151052-768x599.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211210_151052-1024x799.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Making holiday crafts is a fun activity for people of all ages to enjoy. For college students, it could be something done as a break from finals or something to look forward to. Plus, it&#8217;s a great activity to do with friends in cozy pajamas. What are you waiting for? Turn up the holiday music, make yourself some cocoa or cocktails, and get to crafting!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Throughout finals season, my inbox has become inundated with news about wellness events.
