Making cards and gifts by hand is one of the most rewarding ways to mark the holidays. Same goes for creating your own Easter eggs, Halloween costumes, Thanksgiving place cards, and more. But don’t worry about your level of crafting expertise: The entries here skip complex techniques in favor of stamps, punches, stencils, and paper folds. And to up the fun, each one delivers a fresh take on tradition—pom-pom “sparklers” to wave on July 4th, for example, and champagne cocktails served with a twist to ring in the New Year.
