• Put a new twist on giving baked goods. Line a small clay pot with foil and fill with a favorite sweet bread or muffin batter. Bake until done (depending on the size of the pot, you may need to bake longer at a lower temperature). When the pot has cooled, decorate it with bows of raffia or ribbon. You may even want to pull out the paintbrushes and do some real decorating.
• For a one-of-a-kind apron, start with a canvas or heavy cotton apron in a white or neutral color. Stroll outdoors and collect a variety of green leaves, flower heads and even weeds. Back inside, lay the plant matter out on the apron in a design that looks pleasing. Make sure the apron is lying on a hard surface that isn't easily damaged. Cover with wax paper and, using a wooden mallet or hammer, gently but thoroughly pound each plant. Remove the paper and plant matter to see the resulting "plant" images on the apron. The natural juices and dyes in each plant will leave a wonderful impression. Set with heat or use a dye-setting solution to make sure the design won't wash away.
• With a medium-sized ceramic tile and temperature-resistant craft adhesive, glue a layer of cork to the back of the tile. With permanent markers, decorate or personalize the tile to be used as a trivet or a wall hanging. Plate hangers can be used for the latter.
