Crafts with Heritage Makers home decor & gift ideas

If you're looking for a great gift or home decor, you can make any number of things using your own Heritage Makers account!  

Or you can just let me make them for you!

I have been selling Heritage-Makers-crafted decor (holiday, home decor, gifts) for a few years now at local craft fairs.  I design my own papers using Heritage Makers scrap pages, then I cut them and use them for various craft items.  

I recently created a Facebook Page so anyone can "shop" my creations online.  (You'll have to e-mail me with your order, but you can see all the pictures and product information, including number of items currently in stock, right there on the Facebook page.)  Ordering information is there in the first (pinned) post.  https://www.facebook.com/MyHeritageMakersShop

If you "like" the Facebook Page on Facebook, you'll get updates when new items are added, too! 

Here are a few of the things you'll see:

(These are mini blocks!  Stacked like this, they are 3" tall and 3" wide.  Change the numbers as you countdown to Christmas.)

(7"x7" square board with 3x3" month cards that have a UV coating so you can write on them with a dry erase marker.  Hang months on the black knob and never miss another birthday!  Check the link to the shop to see the other style of this calendar.)

("Chunky Kids Nativity" is coated with Mod Podge to make it kid-friendly.  Mounted on pieces of 2x4.  Largest piece is 5.5" wide.)

(Perpetual Calendar on 2" blocks, perfect for a desktop.  Check the link to the shop to see the classic style of this calendar.)

(Silhouette Nativity.  Mounted on 1x4 pine.  Wood is painted black.  7 pieces.)

(12x12" special occasions print, framed so you can write birthdays and anniversaries on the glass with a dry-erase marker.)

I also have several styles of framed prints for the home.  I offer them in 8x8 but you can order them in 12x12 if you like.  More shown at the link above, but here are a few examples:




2023 UPDATE:  Heritage Makers became YPhoto under Youngevity (which purchased Heritage Makers in 2013).  YPhoto uses only templates, so the creativity showcased here is no longer available there. Best-in-the-industry quality and permanent cloud photo storage with guaranteed privacy are required for anything recommended here by Photo & Story Treasures, so we highly recommend Forever.  

Using Forever's Artisan program for digital scrapbooking, you can make items similar to those shown here.  This video tutorial shows you how to craft with high-quality scrapbook pages, and this one shows you how to use Artisan to create something unique and then print at home (for instances in which you need thinner paper, sticker paper, etc.)  You can see just a few examples of crafting I've done using Artisan here, including cards, magnets, dry-erase boards, and other products.


I can make custom home decor, gifts, and photo-memory books (including tribute books, family yearbooks, vacation books, life storybooks, etc.) using Forever.  Just contact me.
