Sometimes we just don't have the means to go out and purchase a gift, or we want to really give something that we have made with our hearts. Here are some DIY Christmas gifts that I have made in the past. I hope you will find inspiration!
A few years ago, I made water-less snowglobes for my son's teachers as a Christmas gift using a bristle brush tree, air-dry clay, gold paint, a toilet tube, some paper, a baby food jar and some fake snow (which is worse than working with glitter). I didn't document the process, but I found a
super cute tutorial over on Hallmark's blog (of all places).
I made a tutorial several years ago with my mom on how to use an old book to make
paper Christmas trees. It's one of my favourite decorations for the season, and I often take it with me when I go to holiday/winter markets.
I made
this Christmas ornament for a friend for Christmas one year, and also put it on the blog as a last minute gift project. It's pretty simple and only requires paint, glue and glitter...as well as the ornament (of course).
