From yummy treats and fragrant soaps to vintage decor and snarky plant markers. I scoured the internet and curated the best DIY gift ideas for every gift recipient on your list!
IMPORTANT NOTES TO CONSIDER BEFORE DIVING INTO DIY GIFTS
1. WILL DIY SAVE MONEY?
If your goal is to save money, create a material list and assess its cost-effectiveness. Some DIY projects will cost more than buying a finished product.
2. WHAT DO YOU HAVE ON HAND?
Do you have leftover wood from a previous DIY project? Fabric from a sewing craft? Consider the supplies and ingredients you have on hand. How can you or repurpose those materials to make affordable and creative DIY gifts?
3. CONSIDER YOUR TALENTS
Are you a beginner to crafts, or an amazing seamstress, baker, or chef? Do you have a knack for woodworking? Think about your hobbies and talents and how you can use those skills to make affordable and one-of-a-kind gifts for friends, family, neighbors, and teachers.
4. WILL IT CAUSE MORE STRESS?
The holidays are supposed to be a fun and festive time of year. If making DIY gifts increases your stress, consider scaling back your projects and crafts, or eliminating them.
5. MAKE IT A PARTY!
Host a fun Christmas craft evening and knock out a few gifts while spending time with friends and family. Enjoy yummy treats and share a few holiday drinks while making a fun and easy craft for your guests to take home.
