Christmas is here and you are baffled what to include in your gift list. This Christmas let’s make your own original gifts instead of getting them form shops.
Here is a list of some easy-to-make items that can be amazing homemade gifts and will add that extra touch which will make them stand apart from others’.
Paper gifts:
Get an old-fashioned inexpensive book and customize it by black and white cover. You can even cover the book with aluminum foil and gift wrap it with satin or printed fabric and add few dried flowers. You can use stickers or cutouts and paste a handwritten paper with few lines about Christmas and Santa.
Cards and envelopes:
Take a handmade paper and cut into small cards and make envelopes of colorful chart paper. Paste images of Christmas tree, bells and Santa pained on a different paper, printed or even drawn on separate paper.
You can customize separate envelopes with each card to give a personal touch. Affix a beautiful ribbon and write with glitter.
Jewelry gifts:
Girls love jewelry and this is another beautiful Christmas gift for girls. Get some cotton cord and some multi-colored beads from the neighboring craft store. Thread some beads in the cord and sub some glue at the sewing tip to stiffen it. Gift a nice attractive necklace or a bracelet to your friends and believe it they will love it!
Stitched gifts:
If you wish to give something different think about stitching a mobile cover or an iPod case.
These can be ideal gifts as your friend will always carry them and they will remind him of your thoughtfulness.
Besides the covers, you can sew neck ties, belts or show bows.
Stuffed toys:
Children and youngsters love cuddly stuffed toys. Get some cute fabrics from eye-popping to vintage colors and make a cute toy. Stuffed toys are wonderful and adoring Christmas gifts.
Warm fuzzy scarf:
Winters are around and what better than a warm cozy scarf. Knit a warm scarf and if you can’t, plenty of websites are available that offer knitting tutorials. You can crochet or knit a scarf, cap or a shawl and gift it to your loved ones.
Personalize a shirt:
T-shirt is the best gift for fathers, brothers and friends. Make it different by personalizing it. Write something interesting like-‘World’s Best father’ I’m the Best’, etc. in attractive colors. Your dear ones will love the gift and will remember you fondly.
Personalize Frame:
Take a nice picture of the ‘gift receiver’ and stick it in the middle of a cardboard piece. Collect pictures of the things the receiver adores and stick on the sides of his picture.
Decorate it with attractive colors and stickers. You can add some dried colored flowers and present it to your friend or relative.
This cute little personalized Christmas gift is amazing and will make them feel special.
Baked Cookies:
Bake some cookies or breads and pack them nicely in a decorated basket. Add some beautiful colored flowers and present it to your loved ones as a souvenir.
