DIY Christmas Gifts

DIY Christmas gifts are extra meaningful—not to mention easier on your budget. That's why we've assembled our best DIY gift ideas for family and friends here. 

And what's really awesome about all the ideas is there is something for every skill level. 

Our Top 5 DIY ideas to make are:

Shapely Cookie Cutter Wreath

This wreath makes the perfect gift for the friend who loves to decorate every inch of their house for the holiday.

To make: Arrange a mix of cutters in a circular shape. Once they're placed as desired, secure to one another using a two- part epoxy (such as J-B Weld).

Add a bow (ours is jute ribbon), and hang.

Christmas Cutout Candle

If you've been looking for an excuse to bust out your Cricut machine, consider this one: Cut a winter wonderland scene on white vinyl and stick it around the base of a hurricane candle holder for a festive gift.

Coffee Mug Mixers

Spoonfuls of chocolate stir instant flavor into coffee or cocoa. For aesthetic's sake, try sprinkling chopped espresso beans, peanut butter chips, or crushed candy canes on the chocolate of your choice.

Bath Tea

There's nothing she loves more than relaxing in the tub while sipping on a cup of tea. This gift lets her do both: Make your own bath soak with layers of epsom salt, dried flowers, and essential oils.

 

Snow globe

Take the lids off the mason jars and turn them upside down.  Carefully place the ornaments you want to be in the bottom of the snow globe on the inside of the lid and, when you are happy with the placement, glue them down.

While the ornaments on lids are drying, fill your mason jar up with water (to the top), add a couple of tablespoons of Glycerol and then a few teaspoons of your desired glitter, sparkles or sequins.

 

Or, if you prefer to take it a bit easier, try putting together the slippers stuffed with pampering products, like lip balm and nail polish, for your bestie. Or do both.Because the truth is that they are going to love what you make for them no matter what it is!
