Homemade for the Holidays

Screen Shot 2014-12-07 at 12.16.21 PMScreen Shot 2014-12-07 at 12.16.40 PMI love nothing more than the authentic sentiment of a homemade gift. How delightful are these homemade fire starters via Jenni Kayne? The starters make for perfect hostess gifts - simply gather an assortment of cedar, fir, cinnamon sticks, pine, rosemary, or any other holiday foliage or herb, wrap with Kraft or newspaper and tie with twine. I cannot wait to join my family by the fire at home and something tells me I might put this project into action.
