25 Great Do It Yourself Christmas Gifts
POSTED BY ON DECEMBER 20, 2012
Who says you have to spend so much money in giving thoughtful and valuable gifts to your friends and loved ones? There are actually gifts out there that value more than most expensive items you can purchase at the store, where one of the elements that cannot be bought is dedication, thought, love, and care. This is why do-it-yourself Christmas presents are greatly appreciated even if things turned out bad. Care to try a few? Here are 25 great do it yourself Christmas gifts that you can personally create and give.
You can choose any porcelain plate for this simple but very thoughtful gift. As for the wordings, you can write favorite song lyrics, a poem, or even a speech, and a set of quotations. It does not even matter if your penmanship is good; as long as your sincerity reaches the receiver of your gift.
Simple but very elegant when displayed in the living room, this Christmas gift only takes little amount of patience to create. Wooden letters, canvas, paint, and glue should be able to help you make a gift that is worth displaying.
Guys, especially those who love accessories, would love to have this kind of gift from girls. And because ladies know how to make braids very well, making a braided nut bracelet should be a cinch.
You can give this special gift to a couple or you could give this as a sweet offering to your spouse. And you do not have to spend so much to let them feel your support. A presentable frame, a wonderful paper, and printout of the famous couples with a standout print of the couple are very great.
You do not have to resort to expensive photo vases in order to give a personalized a container that can serve as a special gift. Just purchase a clear long straight vase, print a black and white picture in vellum paper, wrap the said paper on the vase, stick both ends with a double sided tape, and put a battery-operated tea light inside. Voila!
You may find your well-loved console unit just staying in the attic or in the basement of the house, but it still has value, especially for the new generation of gamers. They may not enjoy 8-bit games like Super Mario Bros. anymore, but you could create a gift that would just make old gamers envy. Just imagine an old gaming console used as a lunchbox.
Your Scrabble tiles can still be put to good use thanks to the idea of having tiles stick together on a corkboard to form a coaster that would be great for different kinds of drink. It is actually easy to make that even kids can do it.
Although these things can be bought at an online store as one set, you can do your own by purchasing or using a frame, printing an “I Love You Because…” message with patterned paper in the middle or upper part for more writing room, and some scrapbook items to make things even more personal. Once done, just wrap it and you’re good to go.
Buy an empty bottle from a store, or you may gather some from friends. Purchasing sticker paper and printing labels should take care of the packaging. As for contents, you may decide to stuff in whatever the theme is. You could use Energy, Faith, Laughter, Inspiration, Action, and other things you could think of.
Anyone from kids to adults would love this kind of gift as it gives them a utility bucket where they could stuff in different stuff. You can simply a 5-gallon paint bucket and a bucket organizer, which usually come in different colors. For it to have a personal touch, you could include different items that the person loves. After all, the bucket and the organizer are not that expensive.
If you were good in sewing things together, this project would actually be easy. By the way, although Caprisun has been used as the main fabric for the improvised bag, you may use other juice doy packs in order to make a design with the right blend of color.
In case you have a book that’s memorable to you but you do not want to give something looking old or rugged, you may simply buy a fabric and have it wrapped on a book of your choice. It gives out that personal and valuable look.
Although this idea is created for couples whose love story can be marked with a heart sign on the map, you can also do some changes by giving it to friends or siblings with a star mark instead. You just need to print a map, cut it, and stick it on a clear glass frame.
Buy or use frames and then look for letters in the internet that may be in the form of a picture or a doodled alphabet, or whatever fits your preference. You can be as creative as coloring the frames into figuring out names, whether of the person you want to give the gift to, or something of great value.
An infinity scarf is actually simple to wear and even simpler to create. Just buy yourself some desired fabric of 6 inches by 12 inches, stitch and reverse sides to hide the seams, and you can give it to someone special in no time.
