What Gifts Can You Make for Christmas? 15 Unique No Fail Ideas and Instructions
Gifts Anyone Can Make for the Holidays
In my article, "Christmas Presents can be a Family Affair" I talked about several homemade gifts that are special and unique or ways you can give them your own unique touches; making the recipient of your gift realize how special they are to you. Not only that,Here are a few ideas that just about any one any age can do for the December holidays:
Create your own greeting cards. Everyone has the greeting cards from last year. Pull out your scissors and the new Crayola Tools that enable you to cut out shapes. You or an older child can also use an exacta knife. Cut out all those things you love about the previous few year's cards; the stars, the snowman, the Santa's, the houses, whatever you like. You can even cut out the statements on the inside or visit a quote site on the internet or Bible verses of your own choosing. On solid colored or white paper, you can use cards stock or scrap booking, I find the cardstock works best and I can get 50 with envelopes for just a $2.99 at Hobby Lobby. Pull out your craft glue, lay out the fronts of the cards and start glue. Want to add more dash and flair? Use paint markers or glitter glue sticks.
Create your own wrapping paper. Brown paper bags from the grocery store. Cut out the bottom of the bag and then cut down the side so you can lay it flat on a counter. You can use paint markers, poster markers, cookie cutters (for stencils); holiday stickers, (stay away from glitter it knocks off and gets everywhere including your guest hands when they open the present). You can also use tempura paint and use sponge shaped holiday stencils to sponge paint. Go free hand and you will be surprised by the creativity that everyone will have. Even the little ones can do it.
