Looking for the ideal Christmas present for a loved one? Whether you’re crafty or not, making something for friends and family is basically a gift in and of itself! Sure, they need some time, energy, and work, but that is what makes homemade presents so wonderful. While you can definitely find a present they will like in a store or even order online from the comfort of your own bed, DIY Christmas gifts just seem to be a little bit more special. You’ll also save a lot of money in the process. Regardless of who you need to make a gift for, we’ve got you covered. Here are some fantastic DIY Christmas gift ideas that you can make yourself just in time for the holidays!
Photo Ornaments
Rather than having the same old round ornaments every year, this year you should make photo ornaments to add to your tree, which will be filled with memories of your family and friends. Going over old family photos piled up in cardboard boxes and just thinking about how much we’ve grown is always a lot of fun. DIY photo ornaments are a fun and easy way to remember and reminisce over favourite memories, such as going through baby pictures. The best part is that you can make these Christmas photo ornaments with affordable supplies that you probably already have lying around the house!
Homemade Scented Candles
You can never go wrong with handmade gifts! With easy-to-make candles, you can bring the smells of the holidays into your house. When you’re ready to get into the Christmas mood, DIY scented candles are the perfect thing to make! They provide utmost comfort and are also one of the top gifts that can be given to anyone. Scented candles instantly transform your home into a Christmas wonderland, which is why they are so popular. One of the things that makes giving these Christmas candles so much fun is that you can be as creative as you want with how you design and wrap them.
Snow Globes
Another great gift idea that I’ve made in the past was SNOW GLOBES! Snow globes are enchanting, creative, fun, and easy to make at home. You’ll need mason jars with lids, a hot glue gun, decorations to place inside, and GLITTER! It’s so easy to make your own winter wonderland and decorate it with old Christmas tree ornaments, small toys, and finally shaking it to create a beautiful scene inside.
Christmas Tea Trees
I’ve made a lot of these DIY Christmas tea trees over the years. Everyone I’ve given these to has talked about how great they are, and how inexpensive and simple they are to make. If you have a tea-loving friend or just want an excuse to try a new flavour, Christmas tea trees might be the perfect gift. They’re not only easy to make, but they’re also entertaining to give to other tea drinkers! All you need are cardboard paper, glue, and individual tea bags. Decorate them however you want and give them to your family and friends!
DIY Sharpie Mugs
Are you looking for an easy and creative Christmas gift this year? Why not make your own DIY Sharpie mugs at home? These one-of-a-kind gifts can be made with only a few simple items and are perfect for any special occasion or celebration! All you have to do is wash and clean a mug with soap and rubbing alcohol, then decorate it with Sharpie markers anyway you want. Simply bake the mug once you’ve finished it in order for the Sharpie drawings to set and stick.
