Whether it is Christmas, Valentine’s, a birthday, an anniversary, or just a special “thinking of you” gift, why not craft homemade gifts? We have discovered some handmade gift ideas for you and give you the connection to help you find the directions. Homemade gifts are always special!!
Fabric Covered Ornaments
Why not load your tree this year with fabric overlay ornaments? This is not just work for Christmas but any holiday or special occasion. Purchase cardboard ornaments from any craft store or cut some from cardboard you have at home (thicker is better but hard to cut). Use remains material you have at home or find some at a hardware shop. Cut the stuff to fit your ornaments and glue it on – if you have cut your own ornament, add a hole is for the string. Then use some string or yarn to hang it on the tree. Need some extra support, search the internet for instructions and pictures.
Makeover for each holiday, even make special ornaments for a birthday gift or new baby.
Another cloth blanketed ornament is a fabric coated ball. There are several steps to doing this. One step is to cut the fabric big enough to attract it together and tie it with a ribbon. The other step is to cut the fabric into strips and then glue each bit of fabric on the foam ball. Again need to assist in creating this treasure. You can find more assist by doing a quick search on the internet.
Use various colors for various holidays, even use a ball of potpourri or cedar chips to hang in the closet or anyplace that advice a little extra refreshing.
Another draft is to wrap a wool ball to make it look attractive and then use it for an essential oil spread.
Homemade Snowglobes
Do you have empty jars, with lids, that you take to use for something? Why not a snow globe? Use an empty jar, waterproof objects, and dazzle and create your own snow globe. Click your object to the lid of your jar. Let it dry. Then fill the jar with distilled water, allow a little bit of room to add 1 tablespoon of liquid glycerin (this will thicken the water). Add some glow. Carefully put the lid on the jar and roll the turnover so it sits on the lid. This is a way to reuse your jars and even some small toys. It is really cool homemade snow globe.
Memo holders
With a drill, plastic or wood toy animals, paint (if you want), a stick, and a clip, you could create some noteholders. Use your own imagination and make some super cute noteholders.
Chocolate Covered Coffee Stirrers
How about collecting some antique teaspoons (you could use wooden spoons too if you would like), wash them up, melt some chocolate, soak the spoons in the chocolate, then roll them into nuts, crushed peppermints, sprinkles, or whatever you would like. Then tie them in a candy bag or plastic wrap, make them look fancy with some ribbon, and give them as gifts? This is not just a great idea for Christmas but any celebration. And once the chocolate is all spent, you have a nice spoon leftover as a token.
After hours of making your own homemade gifts, why not pour yourself a glass of wine and relax. Join a wine club and get them delivered to your door. Check it out.
