What to diy gift for X Mas?

I just found this on youtube. "poundland" is the dollar store. Instead of a scarecrow, do a snowman or Santa? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRMNHZKmnK8

You could also deco small clipboards.

If you are a sewer, look up MUG RUGS. They are mini quilts that are easy to make in a batch. I made them for my close girlfriends a few Christmases ago. I gave each friend two mug rugs and wrote a special note about how special they have been in my life and how we have shared cups of tea and conversation over the years. The mug rugs are meant as small placemats just the right size for a coffee mug.

Thanks guys !!! Great ideas so far !!! South girl I like your video about the ....wood boards but where ever would i buy them ?? what are they cutting boards?? they look cool !! Aqua Bunny -- i agree !!!

I've done this with layers of wash tape then mod podged it. Every one came out different b/c we chose different layers of tape. Quick, practical and easy!

This is super cute! Thanks for the idea, I may have to do something like this also!

One thing I did for my Mother in Law was a calendar. I used chipboard pieces, and hung them 6 down. 6 months on one side, and 6 on the other. Decorated with scrapbook paper and goodies and used family pictures on each one also. She absolutely loved it and it still hangs in the house even though it is from a few years ago!

I could never figure out what to give my husband's grandmother. Then one year, I just decided to make her a set of hand crafted blank note cards and from now on, that's pretty much what she'll end up getting. She enjoys them because she can use them. Actually, I should get working on those... and some more for another person who expressed interest in them too.

That calendar idea is smart Babylou but not sure HOW to make it still need more details !!! But thank you also ive considered doing note or thank you cards just dont know if i want to do over 20 xmas cards diy plus december daily then more cards on top of that --- do yall do a Dec Daily (i love it so much )

I made crafty gifts one year that were really well received. I found glass blocks - very retro like they used. They are easy to find, I still see them in building supply companies.

Bill got a drill bit for glass and drilled holes in them big enough to pass and string of white Christmas tree light into it with the plug hanging in.

I don't make pretty bows so I took them to Michaels to have bows made but if you can tie bows, put the ribbon on like you would put ribbon on a square package with a big bow on top.

Plus it in - stunning. My mother still uses her Christmas light block at Christmas - one of her favorite decorations.

I have a decorator wrought iron tree that is 4 /12 feet tall and you put candles all over it - real candles.

This year I may make some light up blocks and put them around under the tree - could be cute with the pretty bows! SInce we usually put our presents under that tree, I can put the lighted blocks among the real presents.

you could make a set of greeting cards for someone you could put in certain types..get well.. thanks....birthdy....etc
