Channel your inner Martha Stewart and wow your loved ones.

Make gifts yourself using the fancy tools at Catylator Makerspace—they have laser printers, woodworking tools, 3D printers and more. The possibilities are endless: laser cut holiday cards, personalized pint glasses, wooden jewelry, furniture. Get inspired here or stop by the space to get your creative juices flowing.

Forget digital and go old school! Print out a favorite family picture, combine it with an old love letter or kids artwork and get it framed at Plaza Art for a present your grandparents or parents will appreciate for years to come. Trust us on this one.

Make your own holiday cards this year (or at least address them yourself!). Stop by Plaza Art for paper and pens before attending the December meet up of the Unofficial Handlettering Society of Silver Spring.

Take your crafting game to the next level with a class like holiday card letterpress workshop at Pyramid Atlantic. Or head over to Catylator for their family-friendly workshops: Handmade Giftwrap & Stationery and Decorate your Holiday.
