Craft Roundup: Repurposing Holiday Projects for Winter

For those of you who have a hard time saying goodbye to the holidays after New Year’s Day, there’s hope! And it’s no further than your craft supply box. Luckily, many Christmas-themed projects can also do double duty as winter projects – from paper snowflakes to snowman greeting cards. This week’s roundup features some blog projects that were originally designed for Christmas, but work really well for the first few snowy weeks of 2014.
