We’ve all heard the saying, “It’s the thought that counts.” In the era of gift cards and online shopping a homemade gift might just stand out even more. Here are 5 ideas for homemade gifts that are sure to create a lasting impression.
1. String Art
String Art is all the rage right now and for good reason. The materials are quite cheap and the results often look downright professional. All you’ll need is a wooden board as your base, some different colored string, crafting nails, and a hammer. Some popular designs are someone’s last name or initial, the outline of their home state, or a symbol or design that represents them.
2. Make an Indoor Planter
This one is so easy and people generally love them. Find a container at your local dollar or thrift store. If it’s a transparent glass container you can layer rocks and different colored sands in the bottom for a really cool effect. Cactuses and Succulents make great indoor plants and brighten up any room!
3. Frame a Picture
This is another very easy but thoughtful craft idea. If you have a good photograph of the person your making your gift for, simply find a nice frame for it. Some frames can be purchased finished and primed and you can add your own designs or colors. Also consider accompanying this gift with a card explaining the significance of the person in your life and what that picturemeans to you.
4. Bake a Treat
Edible gifts are sure to receive some praise. Make a holiday themed treat that you know your gift receiver will love!
5. Memory Scrapbook
This picture themed gift is a heartwarming display of homemade love! Get some of those pictures out of the digital world and make a scrapbook celebrating friendship, past holidays, or anything that might be important to that person! This is a gift someone will cherish and it’ll definitely be one of the best talking pieces for the holiday party.
